The B has landed
Discussion
It's been a long wait, but my B GT has finally made it to Surrey! From a fairly ropey example in the Midlands, via a cow shed in Burgundy and then a driveway in Wellingborough, she's now happily living in my garage... Boy does it feel good!
Some boring pics and a couple of questions:
In the beginning:
Today, after a bath and polish:
We need to do some interior work on her - how easy will it be to replace the centre console? I'm keen to do this before I get as far as installing the stereo I've bought for her, but as a novice at this, don't want to bite off more than I can chew!
I've also noticed her reverse lights don't work - is there anywhere obvious to look to try and fix this asap? (I've ordered the Haynes manual, but it hasn't arrived!)
Cheers!

Gave the connectors at the back of the reversing lights a bit of a clean - still no joy.
Then five minutes later when I was reversing it back into the garage they suddenly came on and have been working ever since!
Hey-ho!
MG Mark - have had a better look at the centre console now and you're right - is just a few screws and the gear lever surround to remove. Thanks for the advice.

Ant

That's good to know anyway! 
On another note - I've noticed that it's getting a little low on oil... as a complete numpty I've no idea how much oil the engine should hold? (4 litres perhaps?)
It's just below minimum on the dipstick and I'm not sure how much to put in... I guess it's just a case of trickling it in letting it settle and seeing how it goes.
Is it best to check the oil when the engine is warm?
