My brother Kevin’s friend Travis has a very serious car restoration hobby and was kind enough to let us use his sandblasting booth to clean up some of the MG B’s parts.

In this episode I undercoat the wheel wells of the MG B with some rubberized undercoating. This adds some extra rust protection and durability against stray rocks.

Still working on the MG’s front suspension and steering. I pull apart the calipers and kingpins, but had to stop short since I was missing a socket big enough to remove the wheel bearings.

Trying to keep the project rolling forward, I’m just cleaning up and painting some more of the suspension

So at the moment I’m at a stand still with the MG B, I still have a bunch of episodes stacked up ready to go, but I’m trying to be responsible and pay off some debt (bleh lame!) before I pull the trigger on having everything soda blasted.

So I’ve got some time to think about things, I alluded to it previously but I’d really like make my own dash. I’m not the biggest fan of the MG’s stock interior and that’s a pretty important piece of the puzzle to me. To me how a cars exterior looks only matters until you’re in it and actually driving it. From that point on the interior is all that matters.

I’d really like to make the dash to look like it’s at home in the MG. I was watching this video on youtube last night and I really like the one at 1:04

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

In this episode I take apart the MG’s shocks, give them a good cleaning, some new oil and a paint job.

My dad norm helps me pull off the sway bar and tie rods on the MG B’s front crossmember

The teardown is now all but complete. This week I pull off all the wheels and suspension.
