MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I got the engine compartment cleaned up, and I sprayed the epoxy primer today. All went well, except for the mess. I'll shoot the color tomorrow, 4 coats and I'll be done thank God.
on a scale from 1-10, 10 the most difficult project, this rates a 13. Every time I do this I swear I will never do it again.
