Pulled the engine from the MGC on Friday, in prep for bay cleanup and engine upgrades.

The next phase will be a lot harder, power wash to remove old gunk, followed by wire brush, sanding, and cleaning out all the nooks and crannies in preparation for painting.

The only hard parts for us were getting the clutch hydraulics disconnected, and the aforementioned shifter turret. We ended up having to re-cut a couple of tabs in the transmission t...
