I happened across the BCForum while doing something else, and since I have started the project I have long avoided, thought it would be a good idea to join up.
The project I refer to is replacing the heater in my 1972 MGB roadster. After reading the Chicagoland MG Club posting of this job, I put off doing it for a whole year! I decided to make it "easier" by ripping out the interior of the car! Actually, I knew that there were other tasks lurking under the dash, so I might as well face up to it. I have seen this refered to as "mission creep" and "as-long-as-I'm-at-it" up there is some blessing in actually seeing what you are doing. All the seals were leaking on the washer nozzles and wiper wheelboxs, so I've got a little rust to deal with under the cowl...and the transmission tunnel...and the driver's footwell...you get the picture. I'm also going to clean up the instruments and install LEDs so I can actually see them.
So far, the actions of the Dreaded Previous Owner seems limited to the Honda radio and an ignition switch installed in the radio console. I have a new column switch, so I'll be restoring that. And I'll get around to a better radio as well; one I can plug the iPod into.
Well, I just finished tearing apart the wiper motor and related pieces and I need a new brush set, so gotta go.
