Went over to my friend's place to work on the MGB today, and see if I could get it running. Bled the clutch, dealt with a few minor fuel leaks (car has been sitting for a year). Had to remove the fuel filter in the engine compartment, as it was leaking. Clutch will need a new hose (which I have, just wasn't prepared to do it today) -- it was the one hose I didn't change when I owned the car before.
Once that was all sorted, I had to try and see if she would run. Took a few tries, but she fired up and off she drove. Fiddled a bit more and took her out for a spin. Was reminded of why I liked the car so much. Spent maybe 15 or 20 minutes driving up and down the canyon road where my friend lives.
Will need to do a full service on it (including transmission fluid) but she's running well enough that I will be able to get her inspected and registered, hopefully this week. A good day indeed!
