    It’s this aspect of your mechanical life I find most interesting! More so than vehicles stuck in sand!

    Totally agree. More wrenching, less sand.

    me too. for some reason i find his straight-forward no frillls, matter-of-fact commentary very refreshing. none of that fake, high powered, over-the-top, youtube style banter that they all feel is so necessary. like Joe Friday used to say, "..just the facts ma'am..".

    This really makes me wish I were out in the garage fooling around with an old sports car. Feels like spring!

    It was worth cleaning the old water pump just to see what it was like but sadly it was no good to keep as 'just in case' spare. Those parts are fairly easy to replace once you have freed up the old ones but I am glad you pointed out the 'pit falls' of replacing that hose. All great work Steve, I will look forward to the next episode on the barn sprite 3. 👍👍

    Awesome, are you able to back flush the block? With all that crud in the pump it might be an idea. It'll be neat to see this one running.

    Sir. I find these videos on your smaller older sports cars very very interesting. Seeing how you solve the problems and install the new parts is informative and fun to see. Also, your explanations are useful. How in the world did you learn all this?? I’m contemplating joining the local MGB club here, and seeing these videos encourages me/us. I don’t enjoy watching the mud derbies and wreckers, etc.

    After seeing that munge in the water pump, I'd have the head off to check the passages in the head and block. Also, looking at the state of that generator you might want to think about an alternator conversion.

    If you use a bending spring and a heat gun on straight hose pretty good bends can be formed into the hose

    Morning Steve, since you have Sprites, Midgets etc, I thought it would be a great video to do comparative test between one of those and you Fiat 850 convertible. Look forward to the test. Diego Volonta

    Never red in front. You have the option to install an amber coated bulb for use with a clear lens.
