MGB GT Episode 2 Starting the Engine

We get the engine started but it takes a lot longer than it should because I'm very stupid initially

[@BrailsfordsRides]

My car sat in a garage for 32 years... getting her started for the first time was one for the happiest moments of my life since I had never tackled a project like it

[@HenrysGarage]

Yeah - I bought a wreck of a car. I want to get it to a rolling restoration stage so I can drive it a little while continuing to restore

[@BrailsfordsRides]

@@HenrysGarage mine was luckily stored indoors but in a pile of parts. Because of the virus and extra time I put towards it I got it started and on the road for the first time in 32 years!

[@Tallyman66]

Well done getting it started

[@HenrysGarage]

Thanks. I'm a real novice and was trying to jump it from another car. I could have saved myself a huge amount of time if I started with a new battery.

Just got one of mine running. I bought 2 when i was 17 for 1200 and had to leave them in a lot for 6 years because reasons. I got the 76 running pretty good but it doesn't have brakes... and need a new ignition system.

I've been tuning mine over the last weekend. Sounding better but I reckon a couple more tweaks still needed
