After about a month of work my wife and I have completed the Moss 5 Speed conversion and engine bay make over in our MGTF!!!
The kit was very easy but it did require a lot deeper break down of the car then I had originally thought. Once I got the interior and transmission out I decided to go ahead and pull the engine so that I could repaint the firewall, engine and chassis so a weekend project turned into a month long project.
Once you get the car apart there is always just one more thing to do that end up adding up to 30 more things
We drove the car for the 1st time yesterday and what a difference in drivability. The kit was not cheap but well worth it if you plan in driving the car much.
When installing the interior I decided to lay down a product called Second Skin (Dynomat like) and it seems to have reduced the interior heat quite a bit.
Here is a link to view the progress of the project to include the engine bay make over and the new carpet.
I took pictures of the build progress, they can be viewed at the link below.
