Welcome to the, My MGB Project website.

I have started the process of restoring this 1974 MGB. It needs some work, but I think it is well worth it. Considering I picked it up for only $75.00, for that price I can't hardly go wrong.

The car had been setting out side for several years. It appears that some squirrels, thought it would make a nice place to live. They had made nests in the trunk, the fresh air duct, the center consol and in both front fenders.

As you can see in the photo, the little rascals had made a nest behind and under the brake master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir. I had to make a small hose adapter, so I could get in to these tight areas. By time I was finished cleaning out the car, I had filled two five gallon bucket with acorns, leaves and twigs. I also had to repair some of the wires that were under the nests. The critters had gnawed at the outer cover but not the wires.

When I picked the car up, it was missing the starter and both batteries. Most of the electrical components were disconnected. It appears that someone was trying to track down an electrical problem.
