Kathy and I have been married for 33 wonderful years and have owned 5 British cars in that time. 1 Morris Mini Moke, 1 MG Midget, 2 MGB LE's (1979 and 1980), and 1 Triumph Spitfire...the LE's have always been the favorite.

Ready To Go

Posted on: Sunday October 4, 2009

Got all of the engine hooked up. Had to replace the lower A-arm bushings, took about 3 hours. Got the front end toe-in adjusted and took her out for a test drive. WOW...what a difference an OD makes. 3200rpm @ 70mph. 3500rpm @ 75mph. Making trip to SA on the 8th, a good check out.
