Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this episode of Red Dirt Rodz, we continue the teardown of the MGB GT, removing the carpet, insulation, tar paper, and all the gee-gaws that are in the way, but first, Jefferson shows you how to use a shrinker/stretcher to fab a new wheel arch lip, then he uses a plasma torch to trim away all the rusty crusty metal so we can find what all needs replacing on our little British sports coupe!

That center console is an aftermarket AMCO design and is very valuable and quite rare. Hold onto it👍

Sweet! Tha ks for the info!
MGB was an early adopter of single mono body (frameless) fabrication in 1963. As a result, the car was put together with pieces as you noticed apparently because they did not have the funds to build larger stamping dyes. Or so the story goes. Thanks.

Yes, that is what I suspected too, as they were pretty much broke after WWII. The front fender is made in 3 pieces, a part that could have easily been made with one die. Just interesting oddities that help make British sports cars unique! Unfortunately, it also makes the trickier to rebuild when it become necessary.
Love watching the work you do. The only thing I cringe at is the young men wearing flip-flops doing a tear down!.... Pulling out the interior with no mask and rat poop and mold. Truly not being critical but cringing. :-)

Thanks for watching and commenting! I wear flips a lot, even weld and plasma cut in them. The worst burn I ever got was because I had shoes on!
