Somewhere on the internet I've seen a pretty good list of things to do before starting a dormant LBC. Maybe someone will chime in here.

Thanks for the link Chris. I hadn't seen that before. Its a long long list for sure but at least I have something to go by now.

Thanks for putting it together Tony!

change the oil, check for fuel and spark.....
change the antifreeze...etc....
hose it down real good so u can see the leaks
when they start.... and always remember....
an MG that doesnt leak probably doesnt have any
oil in it.....ask me how i know /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif .....zimmy

when u get it goin, spray "seafoam" in the carbs
to help clean out the piston area....

Tony's list is A#1! Follow it to a T and do not stray from it.

nice find, is rear axle twisted?

It looks like it from the pics.

 

[BWillis]

Not that I know of. I think its just the angle of the picture. Looking for all leads on a good tub just in case something falls through with the one that Hap has!

Here is a nice inexpensive solution /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oh yeah! Inexpensive's right!!!

Someone at a local car show said that mini mania will import them for $5000 and that it costs another $1000 to have shipped. There are alot of nice complete RWA midgets that can be had for the same money.

 

[BWillis]

My thoughts exactly. I'm checking Evilbay everyday looking for the right tub. Why dont you just sell me yours cheap so I can be done with it Trevor?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Heh, if I keep dropping things on it, it'll be real cheap!

 

[BWillis]

No No, dont damage it any further on my account! Seriously I hope it's not to much trouble for you to repair.

 

[Trevor Jessie]

It won't be expensive (actually won't cast me a penny,unles I have to buy more sandpaper). It is just the aggravation of having to spend a weekend fixing it. At least I can fix the rock chips and a few other dings while I'm at it.
