.....this little BGT was put away.
Today, she roared.

The mandatory "She's Alive!!" video...

The horrendous noise is due to the fact that she was running with just a header.
Although it idles and revs all the way up, the rpm's do surge a little, maybe about 300 rpm over the course of a wavelength.
Oil press around 50 or 60, temp normal, timing is eratic, but estimated at static; all rather good really.
Anyway, more hydraulics tomorrow, now she runs, I hope she's able to stop at some point.... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
Thanks to Mike and Chris from the club.
 
Very nice. Glad you posted that.
 
Barry,
Nice to see a face to the name. I got a big chuckle out of the champagne. Great job and good luck.

California Jeff. Korbel's finest Brut.
It was a fun day actually, 3 MG guys with wives away and a fridge full of frothy. I was nagging for an extra pair of hands and wisdom.
I do have a couple of concerns with it, but considering it's been 16 years, even with a little starting fluid, she started up and settled down. Such forgiving cars.
 
Mazel Tov! It's great to see renewed life in an LBC! She looks like a nice little gal, too.

I posted positive comments on the video too!

AWRIGHT!!
 
WOOHOO!! Another one snatched from the edge of the abyss.

CHEERS, Barry!!!
 
There be bits in that car from Tony and Vince, a whole lot of knowledge and wisdom from this forum, so this isn't a 'me' accomplishment at all.
Just another great and exciting example of the forum bringing parts and brains together. Cheers to you all.
 
Baz, EXCELLENT

Love the champagne (with proper stemware)as well.

Congrats.

Pat
 
Glad I could be of assistance to you. Again, great job and looking good!
 
That's what "theAutoist" is all about!
