Project MGB: Sandblasting Woes and More Engine Faults Discovered!

[@WhitelandRestorations]

Crikey that escalated! Got to love a bit of sandblasting for revealing the goodness!

Rust in 'all' the usual MGB places, got a lot of work ahead, look forward to following your progress on this one.

Hello Tim. Just found your channel. Met you at the NEC a couple of years ago. Love the Merc. It will be interesting to see the MGB taking shape. The rotisserie must be a godsend in such circumstances. I could have done with one when I did my 100E but to be honest I don't think it would have stood being suspended from each end. Dropped you a sub. All the best, Mart in Solihull.

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

@@MartsGarage Hi! Great to make contact again. Thanks for the sub!

[@stusoldcars4248]

Thats a lot of work. Look forward to seeing it progress. 👍

A Mercedes of this series was my second car in 1987. It was a 200 Diesel poverty spec. Even a heated back window was missing. Thanks for the update, Tim. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Martin from Lake Constance, Germany.

Great progress on the restoration of your MGB GT a lot of cutting grinding and welding to come

[@paultaylor9652]

It's probably been bad for a number of years as corrosion takes a while to get a hold on a car to that extent, I'm sure you'll turn it around. You own some beautiful cars, especially the Mercedes, Merry Christmas.

[@EmilysDadd]

Good luck with the welding ..... looks like you'll need it! 😮

[@barrydavies998]

Keep us updated Tim ... Always look forward to your videos .... Have a great Christmas!

[@ianhighley-zo3es]

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

MGB PG (Tips). I'm guessing it shouldn't look like a teabag? 😋 On the bright side - more content, though! 😁👍

[@MrHandyDad]

Ahh.. You got the Swiss Cheese Options there... LOL

[@D3Sshooter]

That looks like a lot f work... but always fun to try to fix it

[@roseybut]

Wow the bod/chassis is a lot worse than it initially looked, but the engine's not so bad.

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

@@roseybut yes that's what we thought!

[@MrNedkelly1]

Would you build a B18 volvo engine from a 1965 1800s ?

[@stippolyte]

😮 Just an idle thought, what's the cost £/HR of a new heritage MG shell vs cost of all the panels and labour ?

[@richardporter6201]

Definitely worth considering time and money.

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

Gt shells are £17k now! It might be faster but not cheaper!

[@stippolyte]

@@CambrianClassicsLtd wow, didn't think they'd be anywhere near £17k. So welding, filling etc it is.

[@chris-molloy]

It's always the bodywork isn't it ? Stay positive and don't let enthusiasm flag.

[@jonfesmith7993]

Nice project, a little too involved for my meagre skills, too many holes :)

[@flagman9000]

I’m here because of Hubnut

[@chrisval78]

Time to call Heritage ?

[@DrRobert7898]

Can you get new panels or do you make them yourself

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

@@DrRobert7898 fortunately you can buy nearly every panel for a mgb. We will make the small where we can though

[@bigears4014]

Scrap metal , is it worth fixing

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

It's bad, but we can fix it

[@terryatkinson899]

Are you a one man band? Certainly enough to keep you busy for months there 😮👍🇮🇪

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

No, I have two part timers for welding and mechanical thankfully!
