@NorkiddExo Hi, sorry I didn't reply for so long... This one didn't have an overdrive. It would have been tough for me to get to all the bolts to pull just the trany, so I pulled the whole thing out at once, engine with 4 speed.

@joralebedev Thank you for the compliment. I sandblasted the floor, MIG welded a few little plates in the rust through areas, then undercoated with a couple gallons of the Walmart bed liner. If you can take all the rust down, I would suggest paint also. I would choose bed liner since it leaves a nice finish. The tar stuff looks good at first, then turns to grim soon...

Fan-freakin'-tastic!

WHat did you do for the floor? Mines covered in a thin layer of paint/ protector and the rest surface rust. Thinking light sand then paint with layer of tar then black enamel?

when you take the engine gearbox out, do you leave on the overdrive, because otherwise its a bit heavy to have drop onto chest.
I am restoring a MGB myself, what did you do to install the battery under the hood?

If you notice, I removed the air system. It was badly rusted and I figured this was only a fair weather car anyway... So, that left room for the battery to the passenger side. It was still a tight fit for height. Used some 3/4" angle iron to form a bottom frame. Good luck.

Thank you. I learned a ton of things about body work and the whole thing was actually fun for me :) It is now time to search for a muscle car project !
I see you are into heights. We were looking at that extreme Norwegian with the wing-suit. WOW what a rush.
