    What classic car would you love to own?
    Personally, I would love my next one to be an Austin 7 single seater race car or an Austin Healey Sebring Sprite

      I would like a MG TD and strip the long front fender running boards and replace with cycle fenders, replace the engine with a 5 main bearing B series engine and a 5 speed transmission. The MG RV8 never sold in U.S., I would love one of those but can't import them for another year.

      Good selection, I quite like the MG TA/TB's, they look so smart. You could make an RV8 as it's just an MGB with new wings, I have seen someone made an RV8 GT using an MGB GT.

      Yeah but with just 2000 made it would be nice to have a factory RV 8. If I was building a B it would be the Sebring replica. I love the look of them.
      You guys have a company over there that takes old B's and build suspension and install Mazda MX5 drive train. I can't afford one but they make me drool.

      I still wish I had my old Mini...it was a '77 Clubman (Australian spec) with a 1098cc and a _lot_ of mods (38mm Weber, 544 rally cam, 12G295 head...the list goes on...) And just like this MG, it had the dreaded cancer, so maybe I'd prefer one in better nick. :-P Glad you're taking the time to fix it right!

    You have just gained a new subscriber, keep up with the good work. And I am looking for my next car and I think it might just be a Mk. 1 Golf or a Frogeye Sprite.

    Hi, doing this job for the first time at the moment. How did you remove the membrane from the front end of the car when it is sandwiched between the inner wing flange and the inner wing flange?

    At this point are you beginning to wish you had welded up the green shell?

    Did you train in auto body repair? You really seem to know what to do.

    • @RebuildthePast
      @RebuildthePast  7 років тому +1

      No, just a bit of a car nut. I have been watching so many videos and reading so many books about what to do. The best one has been An MG is Born, however they haven't shown how to remove previous repairs :) Hope you're enjoying the videos.

      +Rebuild the Past I love the videos. I had a great mgb manual when I had mine. I can't remember the title but it was from Bentley manuals. It covered every year. I have a Volvo 1800 s but very little time to work on it . You are motivating me to get moving
      lol.

    God I hate the generic music in between.

      Yeah, unfortunately I can’t change it now and the choices for no royalty music wasn’t great
