I saw this done in a video on youtube and it seemed easy enough so I decided to lower the front ride height a little using 1mm strip .

Here's a before and after .

And a photo with the front lowered .

Thanks much Carl and Dann !  Haven't had much bench time lately but have been working on all the little details , lights bumpers wheels etc . . .  Quit taking photos since it seems to be a waste of time to post anything .  I'm hoping to have it finished by next week and will post a couple photos under glass .

This is a very interesting build.

It prompted me to have a look at  the C1 website and see that they also make a trans kit for a Sebring version MGC.

I think that the donor kit moulds by Aoshima have been used by Revell and perhaps Airfix over the years?

According to Scalemates, yes.  https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aoshima-01397-mg-b-1967-model-mk-1--359291

Nice build. Looks a lot like the one on our garage. Don't forget to round over the bolts that hold the transmission crossmember. ?

Dave, some time ago besides the MG I think that you mentioned that you also had a Morris car too. What model?

The Minor was very popular. The last car that Morris produced to supersede the Minor when part of British Leyland was the Marina. It had limited appeal and the Morris name disappeared when the Marina stopped production.
