My son (Jonathan) and I own two MGs- a 1960 MGA, and a 1977 MGB. We are currently restoring and rebuilding the MGB with a completely rebuilt engine, new transmission, and a 5-speed overdrive. More to come soon..

Chapter Four Putting It All Back Together

Posted on: Friday July 24, 2009

5 Years ago, I decided that it was time. I had added a few minor improvements along the way, but the car was now ready for a major update. I had previously purchased a brand new leather interior, complete with new carpeting in tan from Moss Motors. The box was taking up a huge amount of space in the corner of our family room, and then my daughters bedroom after she got married and moved our. Just before the car was taken off the road, I purchased a rebuilt 1980 transmission complete with an ...

Chapter Three I Never Saw The "A" Coming

Posted on: Wednesday July 22, 2009

From the summer of 1992 on, we drove the car during the warmer months and stored it in the spare garage at my In-laws house which was about 25 minutes away from our home. It was a little awkward sometimes…I would drive to the In-laws house, bring out the “B” and go for a ride. When the car was running well, I would bring it down to our house and garage it there for a few months and keep my everyday car out at night. The car was very enjoyable to drive, but the looks and performance was ...

Chapter Two Touring Great Britain In An MGB

Posted on: Tuesday July 14, 2009

In 1976, my wife and I went to Great Britain for two weeks in June and early July, a belated Honeymoon trip, where we stayed in Bed and Breakfasts all around the country….a different B & B most every night. During this trip we had rented an MGBGT for the two weeks and toured the countryside. It was pretty exciting to pick up the car at a facility next to the airport and drive into central London on the wrong side of the road in the wrong side of the car. I had driven a little in Hong Kong a...

Chapter One Pre Infection

Posted on: Sunday July 12, 2009

Here I am on the eve of finishing the restoration of our 1977 MGB and I thought this would be a good time to sit down and revisit all of the events that lead up to this moment. It has been a long bumpy ride getting to this place but I would have not wanted to change much of it. I know I am not the first person to restore a vehicle and say this but; this is taking a lot longer and at a much higher cost than I originally expected. But today, I can finally say that we are coming down the home...
