After months of driving up and down the street, my best friend finally got motivated enough to start fixing his 76 B. The first thing it needs is a new radiator and fuel filter, so we took out the old radiator and put in a new filter over Thanksgiving. While we were working, we also removed the air pump.
He called me today because he got the new radiator hoses, thermostat, and air pump plugs and so when I get out of school next week, we can fix it! I'm so excited I could spit. We're also debating switching to an electric fan, so we might do that too.
He also talked to our local MG guy about fixing the clutch, engine mounts and lights. If my friend gets job over Christmas break, he'll be able to get his car streetable by the summer.
I get my LBC fix vicariously through his car. I do the reading and research, and he pays for the parts. We both do the labor. Neither of us have had a car that we could work on before, so this is a major learning experience. I've done FSAE at college, but he's never worked on anything. I'm so glad that he finally found a joy in turning wrenches on his car because now we can work on it.
If it was my car, I'd have already fixed most of the stuff, but since it isn't, I've had to wait until he was ready to get crackin. And now it's time!
