I was recently preparing to do my MGB seats and found very few videos on it. Not gluing the upholstery to the foam was a big oversight. I suppose the poor outcome of those seats may have been due to him rushing while trying to make the video. Fit and finished was terrible, however I did like the 6 panel door / work bench!

I bought my MGB Roadster brand new and June of 73. The car looks like it's one to two years old and excellent shape and is completely all original. I'm just wondering what the car would be worth is I'm starting to consider selling it

It is a long time since you made this video. The vinyl perforated seat covers look navy blue and I'm struggling to get some this colour. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Typical "restoration". Weber carb... fancy valve cover, and cutesy steering wheel, and then puts the brake fluid can on the fender. PS your oil pressure is low.

Great video! Could you tell me where did you locate the Oil System Pipe-Filter/Block Cooler By-Pass Tube. Looking for this hard line tube to install in my 1973 MGB. I do not have an oil cooler and I like the idea of not having one. My project is to remove and replace the rubber bypass tube to a solid steel tube. Thanks...

Nice "B"series rebuild done as it should be.I only have one negative comment,why the hell would you fit perhaps the worst oil filter ever invented.Try cutting a new Fram filter open and then go buy a quality filter and cut that open.You will be shocked at the difference.

Great Job. Just finished two MGBs. 1979 Limited edition and a 1968 convertible. I presently I am putting together a 1971 and 1978 MGBs. A 1968 MGC GT is next after I complete restoring these two cars. I'm surprised my wife hasn't thrown me out because these 5 MGs. :)

Hello there, I see that you are striping the engine. This is very strange to me, I don`t know why anyone would stripe an engine. I myself have STRIPPED mgb engines in my youth but this striping is new to me. All the best from England, home of good education.

He got lucky on the front bolt of the leaf spring, they tend to get stuck inside the steel bush sitting in the rubber of the leaf eye. If they do, a grinder often is the only solution to free the spring from the front shackle. Since these bolts are special to the MGB, always buy new ones before starting this job, one never knows what one may encounter. Back shackle rarely freezes up.
