Quick History
(before I purchased the car)
|
My mechanic, Brittanic Motors, happen to
come across a MGB GT that was in close to
original shape, with some minor rust on
the rocker panel as well as the drivers side
fender. Mechanically, the car was
wonderful, other than sitting for 20 years!
The previous owner stored it in his heated
garage because of a minor (suspect bad
fuel pump) repair
Bob at Brittanic Motors went through the
car, bumper to bumper, fixing everything
that needed repairing:
- rotors
- pads
- rubber lines
- shoes
- hardware
- wheel cylinders
- New SU fuel pump
- New fuel hoses
- Rebuilt the SU carbs
- New ignition
- plugs
- wires
- cap
- rotor
- points
- condenser
- Adjusted the valves
- Many other minor issues
After inspecting the car, he found the front
end in perfect condition. Unibody was
straight, even though there was indication
of a minor accident on the front. Upon
starting the freshened up motor, the oil
pressure instantly goes to 80 lbs. Runs
smooth, idles nicely! The tires were in
good shape, but over 20 years old.
The car sports and original factory
windshield as well as factory original, and
WORKING heated backglass in the hatch!
Some of the obvious initial repairs needed
would be tires, as well as bodywork to stop
the rust on the rocker panels.
