Dragging a 1971 MGB out of the Woods after 20 years! Will it Run? Part 1

Trying to bring another back to life! The car is toast but we have plans for the drivetrain! This one has been sitting for 25+ years and has been off in the woods for 18+ years! Might be crazy but we’re going to try and get it running! Thank you for all the love and support! Thank you to the subscriber for the new intro! Hope you all enjoy!

That little MGB has ' save me ' written all over it. It would be a labor of love, of course.

[@ryanwarner9102]

I’d love to see a rebuild. I’ve got a 73 MGB that’s been off the road and in the lawn for 7 years. Keep up the good work! Thanks for showing love to the MGB crowd.

[@oncewaslost1982]

Yet another great find. I've always loved those mgs.

[@ronwalsh]

I have pulled my fair share of MGs out of the woods over the years, and that one does not look too bad. Needs a bit of welding on the sills and the usual rot spots, but I bet she will run no problem.

[@johnwren3976]

Sitting with an open roof for 18+ years & sunk into the ground, I'll guarantee the floors and frame rails are gone. You didnt notice the right rear wheel up in the fender? Spring mounts gone. Its not worth it when you can buy a driver for 5 grand.

[@vernonmatthews181]

Loved your little MG, look forward to your next chapter in progress. 😃👍👌

So glad I found your channel. Just a bunch of different builds. The fact that the family gets into it as well makes it even better. Thanks again for something different and pretty cool.

[@SuperGliderman]

Looking forward to this build I live in the UK and always wanted an MG Midget.

[@jeremyduncan3654]

SuperGliderman, my first car was a 62 Austen Healy Sprite.

[@RaggedyAtom]

The MG Midget is a great car and I been in one that was immaculate, but wasn't allowed to buy it because of how cramped it was, as I am 6.2 feet and barely got in and out of the little nugget, so I decided to stick to the Midget's big brother, the MGB.

[@richardcline1337]

Would love to see that classic MGB restored and running. It's rough now but there is still enough of the car to work with to restore it. Just takes time and patience.....and some green.

[@Cortinaman63]

Richard Cline I agree with you, I would like to see her restored too, there is far more good metal on this than on my car I am restoring on my channel, which was far more rusty before we rebuilt the 1974 shell with new old stock ford panels, but i have spent thousands of pounds so far, and I given this channel is "budget builds", they probably do not have the cash to do it sadly.

[@RaggedyAtom]

Definitely a car that made the pages of history, considering over half a million of these were made in the course of 18 years, with 3 out of 5 of them sold in America. I own a last-year 1966 MGB and it's very reliable, even with the stock exhaust, carbs, and engine. The one thing I do not like about these earlier models, however, (before 1968) was the 3-synchro gearboxes, in which 2nd gear usually failed because of a brass baulk ring, that later had a recall at the end of 1967.

[@jeremytoms5163]

Seen worse restored back to use in the UK. You see people restoring these and minis back to show finish, sometimes it seems that the registration plate and badges are the only things left of the original! Reckon that engine would go nice in your Nash kit car . Use 3 in one oil to top up the SU dash pots, what we used to use in the UK for the 1.8 B series engines.

[@BudgetBuildz]

They’re a direct swap! 🙂 thanks for the info!

[@rich_edwards79]

I'm guessing a lot of those in this country are using heritage shells? In the UK, you don't need to leave a car out in the woods for 30 years for the whole bottom three inches to dissolve like that, just drive it in winter on our salt-encrusted roads 😪

[@encellon]

Had the '69 version 50 years ago -- same color, same wire wheels, same twin carbs (also overdrive and a trunk rack). The plywood saved the interior from utter ruin. But these cars rot under the best of conditions. IMHO, where its all original, the car is probably worth more intact than in pieces (to an avid BL collector) -- good luck bringing this baby back to life.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Awesome! We’ll definitely save it, if it’s saveable 😊

I am so pleased that you are saving this little M.GThe little girl in the beginning is very sweet.

[@Jack-nh1dv]

I am really glad that I came across this channel. I have had my share of MG's. Three Midgets, and four B's. Currently my 76 represents what I have been able to keep, and keep married. Nice that you were able to recover this example in one piece, but I doubt that you'll be able to redeem the complete car. The 1800 engines in these were nearly bullet-proof, so you should be able to get it to run, but it's not gonna be too easy. The twin carbs pose a reasonable amount of finesse all on their own. Very glad that you were able to save this specimen. The running gear and drive train are well worth saving, as there are fewer of them remaining. Keep up the good work.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Really glad to have you and glad you’re enjoying! 😊 Yeah I think we’ll get it going! The SU’s can be a pain but I love fiddling with them! Thank you!

[@thefatfrier]

You'll be able to get that running. Those engines can go on forever. The only time they don't leak is when they're out of oil. MGBs are legendary rotters, so you'll be able to get all the bits. Great fun car if you can restore her. Worse cars have been fixed

[@davekauffman8727]

The only reason I have slight doubts is the smell of gasoline in the oil, that indicates leaky rings, but since it was made back in 1970 or '71 (the model-year is newer), it was built with more concern about durability, it just might run. Your daughter is adorable, God bless your little family!

[@BudgetBuildz]

It definitely has some wear and may need a simple rebuild in the near future 🙂 thank you!

[@jeffh1635]

I really enjoy your videos. In 1980 at 16 I bought my first car, a 1971 Blue MG Midget for $600, I was 16 and in love with that car. The car didn’t run so I literally pushed it home. It took me most of the summer to get it running, but I’ll never forget the moment it finally started.... magic. I drove it for a few months before it died and I regretfully sold it due to lack of money, but to this day 40 years later I still have the MG bug and smile whenever I see one so watching you bring them back to life is great fun.

[@markbennett6658]

There’s a lot more of it left than there would be if that MGB had been dragged out of a wood in the UK after 30 years! I guess it probably will run but possibly not necessarily that well. It’s a shame to scrap it. Nice spec. with wires, chrome bumpers and British Racing Green. Possibly one to ‘flip’ as a project once you get it running. It’s looking like a ‘big budget’ build! I believe you can get complete body shells to restore those over here from British Motor Industry Heritage Trust or similar.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thanks for the info, I’ll keep it in mind!

[@gryfandjane]

Right, entire shells, as well as individual repair panels, are available through Moss Motors and other sources.

[@dereknicholson4831]

Yes, you can buy new shells but last time I looked a number of years ago they were $7000. Probably $10000 now.

[@gryfandjane]

Yes, they’re certainly not cheap! I guess being built in small quantities by hand runs the price up a good bit. You’d have to have some very good mechanicals to justify a full re-shell... unless you just enjoy a good project and have the money on hand, like I don’t. ;-)

[@baronvontourettes]

Make sure your dashpot oil is topped off on each carb and be sure the carb pistons move freely. The fuel bowls will need to be cleaned out with carb cleaner.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Pistons are frozen, will have to address that and top off dash pot oil when have the free! 😊 I’ll probably go ahead and rebuild them completely!

[@vernonmatthews181]

Been a while since I first saw this video, these MGB's were once numerous even in New Zealand although RHD ( like UK ), not only did they come in 4 cyl, but 6 cyl & V8. A larger displacement would seem more enticing to pursue, however this looks like twin strombergs ( typical period UK ), will watch to see how it goes.😎👍👌

A heritage shell is $12k. It doesn't work from a financial POV, but that's not what it's about - not many people make a profit from restoring classic cars!

@@rich_edwards79 I wasn't suggesting that was a viable option just pointing out that panels and even bodyshells are readily available to restore it. Actually the floorpans etc are not that difficult. And tell me about costs of restoring cars. I am 90% towards finishing a 1978 Mini 1000 and the panels, basically everything below the windows, were £2,400 ($3,000). Expensive but they were all British Heritage all pressed on original presses. A Mini bodyshell is £9,000 ($11,250) so way out of my price range

Brings back a lot of good memories. My first car was a 71 mgb - gt hardtop. Dual SU side draft carburetors. Bought with the original British racing green, I repainted a metallic gray a couple of years later.The handling was great, the rack and pinion steering was the best. I'm not sure If every model had an oil cooler but my car did, never had any overheating issues. Eventually "souped" it up, put in high compression pitons and a 3/4 racing cam. Also removed the original SU's and replaced it with a huge 44 weber, could fit only one because I also installed headers and the new intake manifold was to big to fit another. However, that being said I had for almost 30 years. When I got married didn't have the luxury or the money to maintain. Left in my parents front yard for another 10 years, as it was falling apart someone came by one day and wanted to buy it for a parts car. Sadly I let it go, as it was being towed away I remembered all the good times I had in that car, still miss it. it. Thank you for your video, I wish it was 1971 again. My car took a lot of abuse, I'm saying you'll be able to start it, can't wait for Part II.
