Well done Terry, I have been following your series. The car looks great. What's left to do?

[staffslad1]

@66poink Hi - I have now restored the front suspension, 3 coats of paint before fitting and new brake pipes & new bushes. It's been slow progress, but will keep at it. Next job is do the rear brakes and then get the car ready to be put on the road.

I'm making slow progress on my B. Keep up the good work so's I'm not alone. Now I divide my time between the car and a Harley Davidson. What a job.

[tomtheplumber]

Thank you very much for these videos. I also have a 74 MGB GT. I have removed the engine and gearbox and the wings and most of the interior. I won't have much money till june so I am just cleaning as much as I can. I have sand blasted any parts that will fit in the booth. I'm surprised at the lack of corrosion/rust as Oregon has a climate similar to merry old England. Keep up the good work you inspire me.

Hi Tom.

Thanks for your comment. I got the car moving up and down the drive way. Now I am back in the garage and i have stripped the front suspension down ready for the rebuild. So yet again I am stck in the garage not moving. Do as much cleaning as you can, evan now I am still stripping parts and painting them.

Wonderful progress! I'm sorry to hear about the Bulkhead blow out and oil leak, but glad to hear that they seem to have worked out. These engines have a truly musical quality that really soothes the bruised knuckles and smashed or frozen fingers. This one sounds particularly nice! Thanks for posting,

Peace

PS Nice beard! ;D

Hi D

Thanks for your comments. Hopeflly this weekend will move the car out of the garage using the engine for the first time in over a year. Having just got to bleed all the brakes and clutch, got to get all the air out.
