Welcome to the, My MGB Website.

1974 MGBI am in the process of restoring this 1974 MGB.  Of course it needs some work, but I think it is well worth it. Considering how much I picked it up for I can't hardly go wrong. I bought it from a co-worker for only $75.00. 

MGB Squirrel Nest 1The car had been setting out side for several years. Apparently 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.

MGB Left Front FenderAs you can see in the photo, the little rascals had it 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 a five gallon bucket twice 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.

MGB Engine ComartmentWhen 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.
