Ended up replacing both chassis legs, inner and outer sills, spring hangers, boot floor and door skins. Then had a bare metal respray and then rebuilt the engine. So done quite a bit! just got to sort out the chrome now![frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

Cheers. Very happy considering it was my first restoration. Really wish i took more pictures as i was doing everything now. It's too late to give up on the MGB! i've already done one side. It's very rusty... (as you can probably see!)[frame]Image[/frame]

You seem to have the time and the energy to do it! Just that GTs don't have huge value, compared to Roadsters anyway... Although I do think with the webasto roof, they make a very suitable cruiser! The Roadster hood is a nightmare.....

Plenty of energy, just not as much time as i'd like! The value doesn't matter to me. It's not something i plan on selling anytime soon so might aswell do it the best as i can. Atleast i know there's no hidden bodges!

Giving it your best shot with no bodges---I like your style. :) Good luck with it.
