1979 MGB ground up restoration walk around VID 20240701 121306010
This is a 1979 MGB. I am the second owner. This beautiful 1979 MGB recieved a ground up restoration.

MGB fuel gauge common issue VID 20231018 172755314

MGB Workshop covers one of the MGB's common issues with an inaccurate fuel gauge. The defective sending unit float is normally one of the causes of an inaccurate fuel tank reading. The poor quality of many of the new replacement parts is common. These new parts either have problems with fitting, build quality and longevity. In todays video I will replace a fairly new fuel tank sending unit floa...

    Very nice restoration. The rubber bumper Bs take a bad rap, but really have a good looking profile. Looks like you had to keep the HP limiting manifold for emissions reasons. I am in the same boat with my '78.

      Yup, I'm in Commifornia. I have it well tuned and it gets very good gas mileage. I like the rubber bumper MGBs better because in my opinion they give a more modern smoother ride and protect the front and back of the cars way better than the chrome bumper cars. My very first MGB (1967 in British racing green) was rear ended when my dad was using it. It totaled the car but my day was not hurt. MGBs are designed to crumple and keep the occupants safe. I currently have a 68, 71, 79, 80 (the is 95% complete and should be done by the end of the summer) and to Limited Edition models 79 & (80 This LE is in line for restoration as I gather the parts and sent my time lines for this ground up restoration) all the others have been fully restored. In addition I recently acquired a 68 MGC GT. I plan to do a restoration video on that car too.

    Awesome job! I installed many Weber carbs and electronic ignition systems on MGB's over the years. I worked in an auto repair shop and I had a following of MGB owners. I owned a 68 MGB for a spell and I loved it. Today I own a 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata GT. The modern version of the MGB. I love the Mazda as much as I loved my MG. There is nothing like driving a true sports car.

      Thank you for your comments. I will be doing a few more walk around videos of my collection. One for my 79 Limited Edition and my 1971. After this are done I will transition in how to and work shop how to videos. I have a 1980 Limited Edition that is next in line for restoration. that I will document from start to finish Lord Willing. I am currently working on a 1980 MGB that is 95% complete on its ground up restoration. My father and I have a 1968 MGC GT that will need to be done some time in the future too.

      @@MGB-learning I lived in Pacific Grove for 46 years. Had property there until a few years back. I was in the car biz in Monterey for many years to include British Motors of Monterey 1968=1972, then service manager of the Mazda/Honda dealership. Later factory rep for Mazda for Nor Cal Nevada Utah.. Then M-B of No America.. later BMW. Retired in 1990 and built furniture for 20 years and sold to Carmel Bay Co and around the world. Now doing Auto Logo art..Euro and English mostly. again around the world. During my years there in PG.. I owned over 100 cars (130 to date to include my 1963 MGB) I was at the first Laguna Seca Race ( The Pebble Beach Races at Laguna Seca) Nov 1957. I make and sell a recreation of the original poster of that race to the Laguna Seca Souvenir Store. My parents were in the restaurant biz to include The Outrigger on Cannery row and a restaurant in Carmel. My brother lives on Sinex across the street from Asilomar conference grounds. He currently owns MIATAs and does track days at Laguna Seca. He has owned many cars to include MGBs. His name is Kevin Knox. Perhaps you know him. He owned SPARKY's RootBeer and sold at the Farmer's Market on Alvarado as well as around the country. Retired 2 years ago and sold out. It is my understanding that smog requirements are dropped after a period of years ? I would much rather have 95 HP than 65 : )
