That awful colour MGB GT

[Back_For_More]

It's years since I had my BGT and I loved it.... Again, swapped suspension bushes etc....
Access was only an issue due to the original steering wheel being relatively large and blocking leg access to the narrow footwell.
Just needed a technique and you got used to it.
Boxster was easier by far for me.

Regarding ease of access for creaky old feckers is it worse than a Boxster. I’ve been using ours as an every day car for the last week and I’m looking enviously at Qashqai drivers

I've never driven a Boxster but mine is OK with the hood down, I never drive it with it up now.
With it up I reckon that it'd be a fair bit more difficult bending down to get into the drivers seat without headbutting the hood frame.
Being overweight, tallish and in my late 60s doesn't help.
If I remember correctly the GT has a taller screen than the roadster and the door apertures are correspondingly larger, the GT also having different quarterlights to the roadster.

or you see the owners just sat in them at classic car shoes.

Refitted the original steering wheel at the weekend. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up, feeding the leather rim (at least I think it's leather!) and cleaning the rust off the wheel arms.

I personally think my aftermarket Moss wheel is much nicer but not only do I want to keep it, most buyers prefer a classic as stock.

Didn't want to come off with pulling, so reverted to a puller which did the job. 

I torqued up the nut to spec (40lbft iirc))

 
Back to original.

 
Now I need to make a proper concerted effort in selling it. I will miss it but I really can't keep them all. Even if I had room, it'd just be sat around and that doesn't do a car any good whatsoever.
