Barrys-Classic-Cars

Additional MGB Projects        

 

My next steps for these cars are to finish the in-process re-wiring and interior panel installation, then to get back to driving it for several months... before undertaking suspension work and rubber bumper painting...

The NEXT Steps I’m Doing…

  • Finishing the rewiring of the fuse box to the interior
  • Finishing installing the interior panels which match the seat covers
  • Carving and finishing the rosewood door cappings
  • Installing the new CD / 80 gigabye USB stereo system
  • DRIVING the car for several months
  • Lowering the car 3" to bring it down to the height of the chrome bumper models
  • Replacing all suspension bushings with top-quality nylatron ones
  • Replacing the rubber rear spring bushings with brass racing sleeves
  • Painting my rubber bumpers to match the color of my car
