Classic car restoration is a
growing hobby. In these days where modern cars are becoming more and more
sophisticated there is less and less opportunity for DIY repair and
maintenance and so enthusiasts are turning to older cars. This web-site
sets out to explain the methods used to restore an MGB. The work was
carried out on a 1966 MGB Roadster but most of the methods and techniques
can be used on both the Roadster and the GT. The Roadster, as expected,
was in poor condition at the outset and could have been a candidate for a
re-shell. This would have been the easiest and quickest method of bringing
it back to life but the repair of the original shell was a greater
challenge and also was by far the cheapest option. There are many books
and manuals on the subject of restoration but in many cases the
description of the work leaves something to be desired and does not always
suit the home restorer with limited resources with few special tools.
These items are aimed at the home restorer with reasonable skill but may
not always describe the accepted method of doing the work.
The site is split into several
different sections with easy links to allow the visitor quick access to
the area of interest. Should any visitor need any help or advice on their
own project I would be pleased to assist. My e-mail address is:
