Transport And Investigation

After Tony transported our 1968 MGB GT from its home to the workshop, John began his investigation into why it was losing coolant.
John’s notes are below:
Top up coolant level and observe where the coolant is leaking from. Hose from water pump to bottom hose has perished and split. Replace hose and add anti freeze and run up to temperature, check for leaks. Looked at other hoses and noticed both heater hoses have started to crack. Replace both hoses as a precaution.
New Pieces – Electric Fan and New Brake Servo on the 1968 MG B GT
August 3, 2022
The 1968 MG B GT has been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop to have several new pieces fitted under the bonnet of the classic sports car.
To start with, the team have fitted a new electric fan to the radiator to help keep the engine cool which being enjoyed by its owner.
Then, the technicians have fitted a new brake servo for the car and replumbed it into the system and tested.
In Place – Adjusting the Doors, Fitting Ball Joints and Fixing the Exhaust on the 1968 MG B GT
July 29, 2022
The workshop team at Bridge Classic Cars have been working on getting a few bits and pieces from the 1968 MG B GT in the right place.
The team have adjusted the door on the classic MG to perfectly line up on the request of the owner. Our technician Jon has got the two pieces of trim to meet perfectly and look uniform down the flanks of the classic sports car.
From there, Jon could move on to to replacing some of the rubber bushes in the suspension of the classic MG B. These had perished and begun to split, so were replaced.
The owner had noted the exhaust was hanging very low on the car. Upon inspection, Jon had found the exhaust itself was in good condition but the mounts and hangers had been fitted incorrectly on the car previously. After rectifying the problem, the exhaust was now neatly tucked up underneath the car.
Gleaming – New Chrome Trim on the 1968 MG B GT

The workshop at Bridge Classic Cars have been methodically fitting the new chrome trim around the roof and windows of the 1968 MG B GT.
Carefully, our technician Jon removed the old chrome trims from the car keeping them complete to use as reference. Systematically he worked his way around the sides of the car to remove them from the car and then once everything was off the car, cleaned up any debris which had gone into the cabin.
After that, he could begin to fit the new set of trims and making sure the all-important slip-clips lined up perfectly on the classic sports car.

MGB GT Brake Issues
May 5, 2021
We welcomed in this 1968 MGB GT last week which is having some brake and running issues.
Firstly, the brake have been bled however the pedal doesn’t seem to be reacting correctly. We assume there is an issue with the Servo.
We have also noticed that the distributor is broken and the car will not turn off, meaning the only way to stop the engine from running is to stall it. This may be connected to a fuel issue.
