I often think I want to restore my MGB, and these videos help me get over that desire because it reminds me of HOW MUCH WORK it is to really do a good job of it.

Awesome job! ..great video and i admire your attention to detail and persistence. Loved watching your progress and listening to your commentary ,looking forward to the next instalment!

Hi Steve, So I thought I was doing a fairly good job with my MGB restoration, you my friend are next level, what you are doing is inspirational, good on ya. Hope you don't mind i'll be taking a few ideas myself. If you concern yourself about originality to much you'll get lost in it, I gave up on that idea day two :).

Unbelievable work Steve. I have very basic mechanical knowledge and zero body work ability. I am amazed at your work.

Outstanding video and presentation.

I just binged watched the entire series to date and can’t wait for more videos and the especially final episode. I especially like your overview documentary style as many KZbin’ers get lost in the sauce so to speak. I have a ‘77 MGB that should get the same treatment but…

Hi Steve, coming along nicely, can you please list the underbody coating. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@stevegnome]

We started by having the whole shell dipped to remove the rust and then protected with a material called Bondrite to stop the base metal flash rusting. After that I painted it with a 2K Epoxy Zinc Phosphate primer. For the underbody, I chose tintable RAPTOR coating which is a 2K truck bed / underbody textured finish. I've tinted it to be similar to the final body colour.

I hope you have a spreadsheet of how much this has cost, and your effort included as well then you can explain the cost overruns... :-)

[@stevegnome]
