Dan's 1976 MGB

Made some good progress tonight.

Hooked up the driveshaft -














Reinstalled the shift lever (need to get a new boot) -














Wired up the starter -














I also tightened up the engine mount on the passenger's side and bolted the engine down to both mounts (no easy task when the car is raised up high in the air!).

Here are a couple of shots of the crossmember installed. You can see the hole drilled through the body of the crossmember to allow access to the rubber transmission mounts.


























So now I'm off the Scout camp for a few days, so no work until at least Wednesday night. The next task will be to take the steering rack off to tighten up the driver's side engine mount, then put the intake/exhaust manifold back on so I can reinstalled the exhaust system. Then I can get the car back on the ground to finish hooking everything up in the engine bay and reinstall the radiator.
