The story of the rebuild of a 1974.5 rubber bumper MGB GT. Only approx. 1250 of these cars were imported to the US. Plans are for a 3.9L all aluminum Rover V8 fuel injected engine and T5 trans to be installed to be my daily driver.

stripping paint..
I started stripping paint from the car this past weekend. No real surprises found, very minimal filler under the paint. The most I found so far was in the very front of the pass side wing. It's mostly good straight sheet metal. After stripping both fenders and the hood, I sprayed it all with self-etching primer.
The next step will be to fill in any small dents or low spots before going over it with high fill primer and then the block sanding will commence! The larger dents will get hammered out, hopefully. This body work is fairly new to me. I did all the body work and painting on the roadster, and it shows now just how much I still have to learn. This one WILL be better, maybe not perfect, but better.
