Well yesterday, i got work done on the MGB's electrical system. Well, I looked through all the wires, and then i came across this one that leads into the engine bay, and well, lets say it would have to be on fire for the mess it made. If was soo fried, that it melted all the other wires around it together. I managed to pull the other wires apart, and they were still good. All I have to do now is find out what it was for, should be hard since i dont know what color wire it is. And plus, the bolts i have to use to hold the front crossmember to the frame have to be ordered for 10 bucks each since i cant find 2 of em. I had a british car expert (my friends dad) and he said that the car was perfect, that all the lines were good, and i was doing a good job on the primer except that some of it i have to redo because someone (my mom) didnt cover it right before the storm and it got all wet, which led to a fender rusting, even though primer was on it. should i spray some primer sealer on it? should I do this before or after i wet sand the rest of the car?

well on your other post I told you that primer alone will not protect from rusting i guess you didnt read that. :roll:

I dont think there was ever a British car that was made mechanically sound.
