Stephen Farrell's Journal

So, Lulu got a new Dizzy, wires, choke cable, valve adjustment, oil change, and carbs tuned. I found a guy who appreciates the car and is not afraid of it like the local wrenches. He has owned many MG's and currently owns a Tr4A. He appraised Lulu at 12 K local sale and 16.5 overseas. She's not for sale anyway. She now starts up instantly and seems much smoother. No valve clatter either. He says I need to get ujoints for her soon and now that she's quieter I can hear a joint clunking a little. It was a beautiful cool morning yesterday so I drove Lulu to the gym at 5 am. When I came out she had a small crowd of admirers around her remarking how beautiful she is. A nice Vette was parked near her and was getting no love.
My new TT SS exhaust came in Wed after ordering it Monday. The 100 dollars off was too hard to resist. Then Thursday my eBay UK OD tranny arrived. I was only able to move it from my porch to the living room. That sucker is heavy. I'll get some help next week so I can unwrap it and see if my $ 477 was wasted. All in all it was a good week in MG world.
I need to let the MG kitty replenish itself but I next plan to rebuild / replace the rear suspension along with ujoints. I am intrigued by the Brit-tek kit. Might as well get PC to rebuild my shocks at the same time. The OD is a longer term project as there are so many might as wells when pulling my motor.
