MGB Strip

So my folks are selling the acreage and moving to town.  Along with that goes my Dad's workshop and downdraft paint booth.  If I want to get this MG painted I need to get it stripped and ready in the next 8 months.  That should be plenty of time right?  8 months to strip, weld, prep and paint.  I guess I better get started on this.  Due to the short timeline, and the fact the engine is in good shape, I decided to leave the drivetrain in.  Everything else was going to be removed.


I started by removing the hood and trunk, they were sent out for prep and paint.


The rubber bumpers came off as well.  I thought I might be able to sell these to someone but the global market for these things is zero. I am not sure how much they weight but I am guessing they are about 150 lbs a piece. I asked the local MG guy if he wanted them and he just laughed at me.


I parted the luggage rack from the trunk lid and managed to sell this on kijiji right away. I tried to throw in the bumpers but the purchaser didnt want to have to pay the shipping.
