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

Keep going Tim, Just seen this on a Friday night, soooooo open a bottle and carry on, keep the vision alive. You are an inspiration. Stephen

@@stephenowen4392 thanks 😊

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

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.

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

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.

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

[@lesklower7281]

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

[@EmilysDadd]

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

[@barrydavies998]

[@ianhighley-zo3es]

[@CambrianClassicsLtd]

Thanks, you too!

[@robingiles9444]

Loving your Mercedes, great colour too 😍

[@MrHandyDad]

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

[@jonfesmith7993]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@chrismolloy5079]

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

[@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

[@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!
