The incessant rattle from the muffler was making my skull hurt. Time for an upgrade! A muffler kit from moss was ordered along with all the required clamps and brackets. Oh and while I was at it I decided to add a rear lowering kit to my order. Well, and I put electronic ignition in the cart. And, since I was placing an order, I might as well include a high performance fuel pump.
When all those goodies arrived I went to work on the car. I am excited to say the rattle is gone, it idles much better and the profile looks great with the lowered rear end. The fuel pump was put in as well although I didn't see much of a difference there. That should be it for a while, which is a good thing with an ever expanding family!
With the new baby I don't imagine I will get to the MGB for a while. She is nicely tucked away in the garage, waiting for the day when we can go for a ride. The MG that is, the baby gets a room of her own.
Looking back I have done a ton of work on the car. It runs great, has new suspension and tires which make it a joy to drive. The next big project is to paint it. But with other priorities that is going to have to wait. Which will give me some time to plan out exactly what I want to do to the car.
It won't be just a straight forward paint job. The color will stay the same, brook lands green, but I plan on putting an air dam on the front, remove the luggage rack, a few other minor modifications.
Stay tuned!

I can already picture how the new muffler of this 1978 MGB Roadster looked, fantastic. Restoring classic cars give so much joy to enthusiasts. It brings a different fulfillment especially the restoration requires deep knowledge about classic cars and great challenge on working the mechanics back in the days.
