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

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

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?

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.

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

I need suggestions on how to restore my MGB

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.

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.

What did it cost to do the restoration? Kevin

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

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