[@steveclews6557]

You're doing an excellent job.i enjoy watching the progress.great vids

[@chylimzbydzi]

Hurray! Congratulations on passing the MOT!!! It's fantastic that regular guys (not proffessionals) decide to do such things and with great success! I've just bought myself a mark II Golf that needs a lot of work and love. Oh, it also needs an MOT;) I guess I'm just in the beginning of the road you've already completed:) All the best!

[@RebuildthePast]

Well, it seems to be an endless road but at least it’s an enjoyable journey !

[@sw651]

Man, that's nice, didn't think it would be on the road so quick. I love the red interior. I'm so excited for you, can't wait for next video.

[@PeterAndersons]

Well done mate, you've done such a cracking job! I've been doing odds and ends to mine as well, but not to the depth you did. Fantastic work, keep it up. Cheers

[@l333boa]

Just come across your videos going to watch them all this weekend ;) always wanted an mgb gt and have just got myself a garage so currently on the look out for a project. Can't wait to own one , look forward to watching your resto videos and finding out where your at with it now

[@alexsaunders4677]

Well done mate, just started watching your vids about 2 days ago and watched them all now, I got a 1969 mgb gt currently being stripped right back to be rebuilt !

[@scopijohnson]

Good job man! I am currently saving up to get my Weber Carb for mine to have it run better. Glad to see all your work is paying off. Looking forward to more!

[@Dimino519]

Congrats on passing. Looking forward to seeing continued progress on this. Keep the videos coming!

[@roytaylor4250]

Nice quality job. Picked up some good tips

[@palmplex]

Well done. Enjoy the driving and the fixing.

[@RebuildthePast]

Thank you, Taking the engine and gear box out next week!

[@palmplex]

Rebuild the Past keep us posted.

[@toastno6]

Enjoying the videos! I'm about to go through the same thing with my '74 roadster. Right now the exhaust doesn't have adequate clearance and is banging on the floors, just another thing to fix......

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Well done great to see it coming along

[@anthonyfuller5045]

Yay, well done

[@steviecuz2396]

Obviously wires would be nice but you know how expensive that route is, how about some tidy rostyles, depends on how close to original you are keeping the car, what year is it? Nice job so far, I'm trying to pluck up the courage to start on my 69 roadster basket case. Steve.....

[@stever5952]

When cutting so much of the floor and sills away, any support needed to prevent sagging. I'm about to start on a 64 B. Great educational videos by the way. Steve

[@RebuildthePast]

steve rance I presume it’s just a B? I would put a brace in between the doors. I didn’t because it’s a GT so it has more rigidity. Hope it goes well

[@ben718]

Well done

[@torchyboyz]

why is your reg number now on a Tesla? Paul.

[@johnmorrow7080]

First one was a right dog , done a few not my favourite cars to work on , done more Midgets dont like them ether , well done though , I was a panel beater for 35 years .

[@RebuildthePast]

John Morrow thank you, contemplating if to try to respray a few panels on this one and give it a go.

[@SuperLeddie]

come may this year your car won't require an mot. any vehicles that are 40 years or more won't require an mot just a declaration.

[@RebuildthePast]

Concerning really... It will be interesting to see what insurance companies require. I have a feeling they will ask for a check

[@SuperLeddie]

no, they have to follow legislation. but it doesn't mean you can drive around in a banger, it will still be subject to police checks. currently any car built before 1960 doesn't require an mot, that's been in place for about 15 years with no problems. i am at the moment doing an mgb gt a 1971 and turning it into an le50 with a 2.0 sport engine and six speed gearbox but i'm going a little bit further than frontline and putting in the 5 link suspension and lsd diff. basically take a mk3 2'0 sport mx5 , narrow it by 10 inches and put an mgb gt shell over it.
