- Our goal with this 1974 MGB was to make it run without spending any money, but we didn't quite meet that goal. We have no key for the car, making it difficult, but I figured out how to hot wire the car. I tinkered with the carburetors, replaced the points, rotor button and spark plugs, so I spent $37 on the cheapest junk Rockauto sells. We spent three evenings on the car, between the clean up and the mechanical work.
We got to a stopping point before this thing started costing me money. The hydraulic clutch would not move any fluid, even after bleeding, and we had a similar situation with the brakes. No fluid movement. Parts are available for these cars, but the bill was going to be about $300 for the necessary parts to make it drive. Not happening on this project. Ultimately, the ol' car cleaned up nice and we had fun fooling with it. Time to move onto the next project.
Great job. I had a 71 so this was fun. Kids are adorable.
From $6K to $73K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
VENTURING into the trading world without the help of a profesionals, trading and expecting profit is like turning water into wine you would need a miracle.
GOOD CONTENT !!! Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way. Business and investment
Experted Ann Marie strunk was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Maria strunk.
Just sold a property in Alaska and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe but Is this a time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
The fact that I got to learn and earn from her program is everything to me think about it, it's a win-win for both ways.
I think it will make someone a cool project. Excellent job getting it cleaned and running!! 😎
That was enjoyment for me,w/the kids and the the car looks a lot better then first time I saw it.
Some marvel in the slides of the su carbs Will help, it did with a friend custom Sportster... slides gotta slide.
Looks like you guys are having fun!
Maybe a candidate for a LS swap!?!?😂
if I had this, I would restore it. always wanted one.
Sounds ok champion. 🇦🇺👍
The first thing I would do is get rid of the front bumper guards.. These are known as "SABRINAS".. No MGB owner I know would have them on their car.
Next I would turn the front parking/directional lights around. They are installed backwards.
Drain the fuel tank. I would remove it and clean it.
Good luck !
Steve from This Week with Cars restores these things in his sleep. He has five, which he has made run and drive and he gets all his parts from Moss Motors.
Didn't look like you were using the choke. Just reach over under the hood and pull it up. You can remove the steering wheel cowling and there are 2 antt-theft bolts which you can put a screw driver slot in (with a dremel) to back out the screws. The ignition mechanism can then be removed from the column and you will be able to steer it. The clutch system is a known bugger to bleed. Search the internet for how-to's. Nice looking B.
The old b series is tough as boots and i dont think it will present someone of your skills a challenge.
That MG came a long way in a short time ! Nice work everybody !
I see that the Carb Slides are bouncing quickly. Those carbs need to be filled with oil to make those slides work smoothly. Did you oil them?
Great job. Your kids are great.
Good to see the kids and I’m glad to see your sarcasm glands are healthy 😂
Time for a new fuel pump.
That exhaust dinging sounds like a railroad crossing lmao. here comes the MGB train!
Cool little car,an great content 😎 guys. Your little man is surely going to be a car guy. TKS for sharing 😊.
Nice little car for some body how would like to work on
Isaac is cool.
He's a funny boy. Looking forward to having him be a part of the Henry J project this winter.
Sell it to Squeezy.
I had a 1976 Midget simple car
Fuel pump is shot, get a new one!
I remember seeing 50 of these and MG B around.
Small block and 5speed it and stance it like you vette is.
Really needed a complete decontamination before even looking at it ……probably full of mouse shite etc.! 😮
Should get $1500 out of it
If using old lucas fuel pump known for problems.
These cars are really bad to overheat. You need to make sure you have coolant and make sure you have proper oil pressure. A new fuel pump will also help.
Nonsense on the over heat except when there is no coolant.
The original fuel pump is in the right rear of the car. What is there is the wrong fuel pump and should not be there.
Try sleeperdude lol
spend more on it
If I was closer I would make an offer and do a (Will it make it home video)
Oh come on. What's a few more miles
the MG needs a small block Ford and T-5 5 speed swap==poor man's Cobra
