Wow , I have a 1969 one sitting in the garage for about 20+ yrs and you just woke my enthusiasm to get to work on it. Thanx! Looks incredible 👍😎👌 nothing like a rag top !!!!!

Beuatiful restoration. I wish we could have heard the engine.

I did the very same ground up restoration on both my 68 and 71 MGBs.

Thank you for sharing, mine is a 1973 MGB Red with black interior, it was a pleasure to see your restoration

[@badger7015]

had a 70 b that I restored and regrettably now, sold for a 61 vette. I admire your perfectionistic work ethic which mirrors mine. love your finished dream car. you will love your efforts!!!

I restored my 70 mg with the help of a friend who owned a body shop 25 years ago ,and still drive it are few times a year . I went with 75 Porsche red looks close to your color love it

[@timoklap]

Looks nice. Red looks perfect with chrome. Front turnsignal lights are installed wrong way😉

[@dgriffin6074]

Amazing work, especially given the small amount of space you have. My 1972 MGB has a similar paint colour and black interior. BTW, what kind of welder do you recommend for doing the body panels?

[@gregorypeterson9]

AWESOME!!!!

Are you in Southern Wisconsin in Rock County ? I live there.

Good looking B! I had a 1970 (the only year they made the split rear bumper) in '77/'78 in high school. Ironically, after undergrad I left university with a 1968 AMC Rambler! I'm wondering though; are you sure your front grill is "period?" Mine was the black front grill.

[@rudykay5618]

Looks like maybe a 1969 grill be to be fair a 70-72 grill is hard to come by I have been looking for good Condition end panel for mind

nice job

[@juanchan61]

I need suggestions on how to restore my MGB

[@ethanforrester6666]

I know sometimes it is hard to quantify, but excluding your labor do you have an approximate price and time this project took?? I'm thinking about getting an MGB for my project car.

[@rockcountygarage3430]

I never kept track of the hours but the project took around 11 months from the day I picked it up so probably closer to 9 months of actually working on it. I probably have around $8K in the car including the purchase price. My advise would be to buy the best one you can find. Make sure the floors and rockers are good, that alone took over a month.

[@winner1604]

What did it cost to do the restoration? Kevin

[@rockcountygarage3430]

I'm not sure I would guess it cost around $7000. That's doing all the work myself.

[@philiphawley1319]

There are no simple or quick jobs on an MGB............

SOOOOOOO RIGHT....
