V8 swap into an MGB GT tearing it apart and pulling fenders off.

In this episode when we tear apart the car to fix all the rust in the chassis. This car was $500 so there’s a lot to fix then we can start putting it back together. Fred shows us how to take apart the fender and the hidden bolts

I like the bed-liner idea on the floor boards. I think I’ll do that also!

i think those bolts. that held something were often used to hold Wire management clips / holders for the Harness in the engine Compartment those were very often “bunked “ up with paint and road debri that got Solashed into the area or even sloppily applied at the factory at least that’s what 2 of my MGB Cars had i actually used to go through Coutches and i often pulled the Engine and Transmission as a unit to replace the Clutch parts when i had the Engine Compartments empty i liked to physically detail the entire Compartment and i would temporarily remove those clips to wash and Wax that area

i had one hell of a time taking doors off a 79 MGB Roadster because of the # 3 Phillips head Machine Screws in the Hinges ? i tried everything i had in my Box and had no luck i ran to a local Ace Hardware store and they had a Cmfort Grip ScrewDriver that had a Shank that had a section you could use a Open End Wrench on i put a “Cheater “ on a older Craftsman Combination Wrench and with the help of a Buddy and some Propane heat we got them to break free yeah there was some bad Language i thought about drilling them out but then i’d be stuck putting it back together after reskinning and Painting the Doors ?
