Laid up MGB

Dec 02, 2005 7 Replies

Hi all,



I am preparing to pick up a new toy, a 1980 MGB GT 1.8. It has been in a garage for at least 10 years so, before I can get it running, I guess I have some work to do.



I'm assuming: Tyres Battery Oil & filter Coolant flush & replace



Anything else I should be doing before trying to turn the key?



Cheers,

Oooh, and brake fluid!

Drain and flush the gas; by now it's varnished. Not just the brakes; clutch hydraulics, too.

I would replace all brake and hydraulic flexible lines too.

Have a look at this list:

Fantastic, thanks. A few things to keep me busy, and a nice steep learning curve.

Expect to hear more from me in the future!

Cheers,

JAG.
