We have finally finished our 1965 E-Type engine bay restoration. The project is back with the owner for some detailing and then we will have the distinct pleasure to offer this car on the market.
Beauty images to come.
Last week the engine bay of our MG TF restoration project was completely finished. Included are the original Vokes air filters and a cool finish on some of the carburettor hardware: black oxide.
It’s full steam ahead on the MG TF Build.
Fitted are the engine, brake hydraulics, fuel line and some of the impressive wiring loom from Autosparks in Britain.
A little over two weeks into our E-Type reconstruction has yeilded some quick results.
Fitted is the complete exhaust and intake systems including the Porcelain-coated manifolds that distinguish this build from most.
Not pictured is the fabled reaction plate install which was accelerated by releasing all the tension on the arms and wiggling the four bolts through by hand.
What else can I say. Oh yea the complete rebuild of the hydraulic brake system took a little time too.
Italian Job is back in the shop!
Here is 1 week’s progress. The 4.2 lump is back in and the accessories can now get piled on.
In many ways the E-Type engine bay was designed to look as good as it ran.
With the engine in we could route the electric wires on the subframe then start on the firewall bits.
