    Mechanical Awakening a Sleeping MGB

    This checklist was created by BCF member and former MG forum moderator (and good friend) Tony Barnhill. It lists many things to check before starting and driving a long-dormant MGB. While he wrote this with the MGB in mind, it is fair to say that much of this checklist would be applicable to...

    The Infamous 3-synchro MGB Transmissio

    A Tale of Transmissive Tutelage Submitted by @DrEntropy This story takes place a few decades back, when we could find MG’s largely un-rusted and for affordable amounts of money. To be accurate it was late in 1972. As a Sergeant in the US Air Force and married to my college heart-throb for a...

    Hi All, I bought a 1970 MGB seven years ago now, and drove it for a couple of years before putting it into storage whilst we built a new house. After moving into the new house I have been (very) slowly taking it to pieces with a view to doing a bare metal rebuild. Progress with dismantling has...

    For Sale Big Barn Cleaning

    I have several British sports cars and tons of parts collected over a 40 year period. I now find my age and situation makes it mandatory that I part with most of them. I will run out of time before I can get them finished, and I can only register a couple of them at a time to enjoy them. They...

    Greetings to you all. I'm a born-car-guy. I started noticing cool cars at a very young age. My mother told me years ago that I could tell her a car brand, make and model just from its lights at night when I was two or three years old. I built models of all my favorites up until I was 11...

    MGB Classic Gold fuel tank drain plug

    A couple of months ago, I installed a Classic Gold fuel tank from Moss on my 1974 MGB. The old tank appeared to be original, showed alot of rust, and seemed to be allowing quite a bit of fuel vapors into the boot. While I was at it, I replaced all the rubber lines for fuel and evaporation, and...
