    My BJ8 Barn Find

    Myth: Barn Finds are great cars, will be in great shape and cost little to renovate. FALSE. Let me restate that - VERY FALSE. There are very few exceptions to this. My barn find may or may not be one of these - TBD. The engine was seized, brakes and clutch peddles went to the floor and...

    MGB Classic Gold fuel tank drain plug

    A couple of months ago, I installed a Classic Gold fuel tank from Moss on my 1974 MGB. The old tank appeared to be original, showed alot of rust, and seemed to be allowing quite a bit of fuel vapors into the boot. While I was at it, I replaced all the rubber lines for fuel and evaporation, and...

    TR2/3/3A Late Fuel Tank in Pre-TS60000 TR3A

    Fuel Tank Restore and install

    I finally got around to refitting my EType gas tank. I first had the tank boiled out and coated with a rubberized tank coating to prevent rusting on the inside. Then I use glass bead media to strip the old paint and, while I know it isn't "original" I painted the tank with POR-15 to give it an...

    Fuel gauge, sending unit, and tank compatibility

    Hi All, It appears my project has a newer (1970s internally-lit) fuel gauge and the older (screw-mounted) fuel sending unit and they are incompatible. Oops. Will my fuel tank accept the newer (locking ring) style fuel sending unit? If not, this means the fuel gauge, sending unit, and tank...
