Master cylinder rebuild

I started the process today of rebuilding the master cylinder. This controls both the brakes and the clutch. When you push on one of the pedals in the car it directly pushes one of the forks sticking out of the cylinder which in turn injects hydraulic fluid through the lines to make the brakes work. Pretty simple system, it just needs a good cleaning and a few new parts and it will be back in business .

Front end modifications

I have decided to go with the historical mga race car look. This means that the body needs some modifications. I took the front panel off the car, then welded it back on so that the front of the car is one smooth flowing line. The holes in the metal were fiberglassed. To give the car a little race car styling i have changed the grill to make it look better. There is still a lot of fine tuning to do on the body before she is ready for paint, but it's getting close.

Rebuilding the motor

I have started taking the motor apart to rebuild it. The cylinder head was hard to get off, it definitely needs a lot of work. This motor is going to run great once everything is fixed.
