MG B Roadster Underseal

So we closed the week off with Dave having finished stripping the MG B Roadster in order for Chris to prepare the car for underseal.

All of this took place over the weekend which meant that Chris could successfully seal the underside with Schutz and let it settle through to the Tuesday when the technicians return from their weekend breaks.

MGB Parts

Various parts of our 1973 MGB Roadster have been taken for sandblasting.

Stripping our 1973 MG B Roadster – engine, carbs, heater box, wheels

Week 1 for new guy Dave has already been a busy one as his first project is our 1973 MG B Roadster. Gordon has not started Dave off lightly. The MG B is needing a serious amount of attention but that hasn’t seemed to phase Dave so far. The engine and gearbox have been removed. The radiator and surrounding panels and hoses are all now out. We have removed the heater box, bulkhead parts, blanking plates and covers. The body is now stripped ready for welding, the windscreen, door glass, all chrome and trims, soft top and rear trims are all removed.

The suspension has been removed and will be completely rebuilt. The engine is out and work has begun on stripping down to component level.

The heater box has been stripped down to component level and will be prepared for rebuild.

Stripped down carburettors, cleaned manifold gasket surfaces, cleaned carburettors, polished dash pots and rebuilt carburettors new jets and fuel line’s replaced gaskets.
