Hello all,
I'm a noob with some important questions. My girlfriend's uncle has a 1974 MGB roadster that has been sitting in her garage since 1981. My goal is to get it to at least be able to be driven on the street. As far as I know, the car stopped running one day and her uncle just decided to let it go I guess. The car has 89000 on the odometer I believe and is completely intact. The body is in good shape and I think this could be a great project for me in the future. I've always wanted to work on cars but never really had the courage until now. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and I figured I'd have to start somewhere. This seems to be the perfect opportunity since the car would be practically given to me if I could get it working.
I was wondering if any of you have any links or information of your own on how to revive a car that has not run for this long. Where would I start? I'm willing to do it the right way but need a starting point.
