Well not completely starting out as I've done the front and rear axles and brakes all around. I spent some more time doing clean up and started a few items.
I removed the hood and have that setting out of the way, removed the original zenith intake and exhaust manifold. Installed the replacement exhaust manifold from a 1970ish mgb, and a weber DVG. I may eventually go to a pair o SU's but right now\ I have the DVG and i like that much better than the Zenith.
After that was done I worked on the wiring harness, I found one wire that needed repair so that was sorted out. I installed a new fuse box and began labeling connections in the engine bay. I wasn't able to locate a rear harness in the various boxes of parts that came with the car so that was added to the shopping list.
Reviewing things under that car I found that the main fuel line is intact, I had found a section of fuel line so I thought I might need to replace the whole line. When I get a new gas tank I'll inspect the line and make sure it is in good shape.
Next items are continue sorting out the wiring harness and install some of components, clean up the dash and clean or replace any broken parts. (I really want to find a replacement dash as this one is in bad shape)
Things to research:
I'm missing the charcoal canister so I need to find a replacement or a way to bypass that.
The air pump manifold is still installed so I want to sort out how to remove that properly
I'm going to do a heater delete, but Moss's panel is pricey, I have to believe there is a less expensive option
