Changing the battery

This is the battery we took out of the MG - no idea if it's the original or not. We needed to get a replacement with as near as possible dimensions to this one as the battery bin is cramped at the best of times. UniPart luckily had a battery identical to this.

Getting this one out was a struggle. The MG battery bin is under the back seat with little or no room to get your hands around it to lift it. When I put the new one in I made sure to strap it to make it easier next time.

What it's taken so far.

About Inca Yellow

A while back I inherited a 1979 MGB GT. It had been sat in a garage for nearly two decades and was in desperate need of a bit of attention. Knowing absolutely nothing about cars and even less about engines I, of course, decided to get it back on the road.
