Got to use the best £20 I ever spent - an air chisel and drill at £9.99 each from Aldi
Replaced top and bottom ball joints both sides. The air chisel made short work of removing part drilled out rivets.
Fitted servo brace and tried to replace bearing in noisy wiper motor -gave up as some plastic parts had broken up and bearing would not budge ,would have destroyed the casing in removing
Invested in new old stock from Glen in Walsall.
Gave up fitting upgraded gear change bell crank kit as roll pin would not budge (fear of bending selector rod) -will drill out with 7mm cobalt drill unless anyone has an easy solution?
Plan to weld brackets and fit my bargain Toyosports back box next week.
This only leaves fitting nearly new hood,replace rear screen,refurb all 4 alloys,paint rear calipers and disc centres to prevent rust ,cam belt and water pump and removing surface rust and repainting the underside.(get to use chisel with needle pins )
Do I own an MG or is it the forth bridge ??
These cars are certainly a labour of love !!
As work got in the way it has taken a couple of weeks !
With a bit of luck I might find the time to drive it .
