1969 Mgb Roadster Total Restoration on 2040-cars
Soquel, California, United States
1969 MGB FULL RESTORATION DOWN TO LAST NUT AND BOLT. 72 SPOKE CHROME WIRES, ALL NEW UPHOLSTERY, CARPETS, DASH PAD, ETC. I COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED THIS WHOLE CAR. THE UNDER CARRIAGE IS AS NICE AS THE UPPER PART OF THE CAR. I AM MECHANIC BY TRADE AND REBULT ALL MECHANICALS ENGINE, O/D TRANS,REAR AXLE, BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL SYSTEM, EXHAUST,SUSPENSION,ETC. ALL NEW PARTS WHEREVER THERE WAS A QUESTION AS TO THE FINAL QUALITY OF THE CAR. 1973 1800 CC EGINE WITH HIGH COMPRESSION PISTONS FOR ADDITIONAL POWER AND I BELIEVE THE 73 ONE OF THE BEST MGB ENGINES AS TO VALVE SIZE AND THE HIF CARBUETORS. I WENT TO GREAT PAINS FOR ENGINE COMPARTMENT DETAILS AND IT LOOKS LIKE NEW. ENGINE ENAMEL IS DUPONT CENTARI, NOT CHEAP RATTLE CAN STUFF. IT LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE CHEVY ORANGE BUT ACTUALLY IS NOT BUT A GM SHADE OF RED. I MADE CYLINDER HEAD NUTS TALL AS ORIGINAL OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL. I DID NOT PAINT THE ENGINE ORIGINAL MAROON AS I HAVE A DISLIKE FOR MAROON. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RESET TO 00000/0 WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTORED SO NOW SHOWS 931 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE. SMOG FREE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CRANKCASE VENTILATION CONTROL. SMOOTH IDLE, GREAT ACCELERATION AND A NICE CRUISER AT 70-80 MPH. THE OVERDRIVE REALLY IS A NICE FEATURE. ALSO I PERFORMED ALL BODY AND PAINT WORK. I HAVE INVESTED HOURS AND HOURS OF TIME INTO THE RESTORATION OF THIS CAR. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND RUNS LIKE A GEM. I DO NOT HAVE CONVERTIBLE TOP FOR THE CAR BUT DO HAVE THE METAL FRAME FOR IT AS I NEVER PLANNED TO DRIVE IT IN BAD WEATHER. THIS CAR IS ADVERTISED LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE OPTION TO REMOVE EBAY LISTING SHOULD IT SELL BY OTHER MEANS. ADDED NOTE: THIS CAR HAS THE ALUMINUM HOOD ( CAME WITH THE CAR AS ORIGINAL) AND IS A LATE 69 SO IT HAS THE NICER STYLE SEATS AND HEADRESTS USED INTO THE 70'S. |
