MGB is running well. Most of the electrics are sorted. The cooling fan comes on now so no more glycol showers for me.
Of course the clutch master cylinder has decided to start leaking.

Nice. Wiring looks a little better. Is this yours Shawn or a customer's?

It's a customer's car.
Wiring is nearly there, just need to be sure everything is functional before I close up the loom.
It's not a restoration, it's currently in a state of "make sure it doesn't burn to the ground".

What the heck happenned to the interior Shawn? Looks like a UFC match was held inside the cockpit.
Generally - especially the earlier years, I think MGBs are underrated. Dropped down to pre rubber bumper ride height and de smoked and you have a fun car.

The interior is pretty rough. I use moving blankets when I'm working to keep it from getting any worse.

The good news is that you can get a complete interior kit for that car for 2k if the customer decides he likes it. There are more expensive ones too that are probably better, but I don’t know which is best.

That's the nice part with MG's. I feel like they fall into the same area as air cooled Volkswagens, Model T's and Model A's. The entry cost is low, parts supply is fantastic and reasonably priced.
If you're not a mechanic and wanting to get into the old car hobby, it's hard to go wrong with one of these.
