Well, I'm about to take the plunge and get my '64 MGB bodywork done--replacing rusted panels and repainting. It looks like a complete strip of the paint, some sill and fender metal replacement (rear

Which way to go? Good question. The best place to go is a place where you may have previously done business before. If this is not the case, do what you are doing, get referrals, etc. As a general r

Look a bit further south. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if Monterey had the highest per capita population of MGB's in the world. I *would* talk to Mick at Import Repair Service in Salinas. He

Chris I think your estimates will give you an idea of what you should do with this car. Living in California you should have no problem finding a rust free car. If it were up to me (which it isn't) I

At $4,000 to $5,000 for body work, invest in a new body shell at $4,995. --Original Message-- From: Art Pfenninger <ch155@freenet.buffalo.edu> To: Chris Attias <cattias@cats.ucsc.edu> Cc: MG Listserv

Hi Listers My 66 B is in similar shape (as the one under discussion), and I've considered going the body shell route, but... ...how many hours of disassembly, cleaning (!!!!) and reassembly are we t

But Max... the new shell would be incorrect for a pre-'68 car. After all the expense you're talking about, the transmission tunnel would be too wide and the metal dash wouldn't fit. Allen

It is my understanding that the Heritage Shells are not available. There are several that are rebuilding shells and selling them and they have a limited supply of pre 68 shells also available. The Ro

The second edition of Porter's has a large section (about half the book) on building a B with a Heritage shell. They built it as an English MkII I believe. It had the metal dash (which did take a bit
