Oh dear, another car project.
We bought this November 2021 without viewing it and it’s been under a tarp since. Supposed to be a Dad and Son project. Now sitting in a Clark tent garage.
Closer inspection reveals lots of surface rust however I’m expecting most of it will clean up.
Front end coming apart. It seems to have the wrong dampers. These are similar to an Austin Cambridge or maybe MGA with the arms turned round. Either way the bump stops don’t line up and the geometry is different to the MGB dampers.
The lower radiator hose is kinked and collapsed and full of a waxy deposit from the anti-freeze. I believe this happens when the anti-freeze boils and the waxy stuff separates out when it cools. I have some in the TC V8 expansion tank and I think both V8’s have suffered. Oddly there is little online relating to this and I can’t imagine that I’ve got the only two V8’s suffering this.
