Crap To Cream
Австралия
Добавлен 27 апр 2008
My name is Marty semi-retired, moving into full time retirement after several years as a Machinery Engineer in the Oil and Gas industry. I'm now following my childhood passion working on what are now classic cars, focused on the MG brand. my interest in MGB's started with me restoring my first MG in the mid to late eighties, I bought this one off my Mum who had decided to move into something more practical at the time. My restoration journey isn't going to be hard core concours MGBs it's going to be me just building them to the standard I want to with the modifications I see as beneficial. There will be some subtle modifications to hopefully make the vehicle look better and run a bit better and more reliably.
This is going to be a retirement journey, so when you subscribe, please feel free to interact and suggest constructive ideas, typically I don't show me "doing stuff" because personally I prefer to show what I did and explain later.

Crap to Cream, MGB servo rebuild, engine runs rough, just replaced the brake M/C? Here's the answer
This is my 100th video and it’s about the servo rebuild on my MGB which started because my engine was running rough, I found the issue to be my servo apparently leaking so I replaced it with a new one and stripped my old one to find out what the problem was. The really interesting bit is at the end of the video, be warned 😂😂
Finding nothing initially I was a bit frustrated, as you will find out in the last 6 minutes of the video I found the problem, OMG........... You just continue to live and learn, how true this is.

Crap to Cream, rust removal, cutting a hole in the floor, some new parts have arrived, some painted.
Просмотров 1187 часов назад
Time to try out my new (small) hand grinder, not the best by any stretch. You get what you pay for….. Cutting the rust out of the floor, time to learn how to (MIG) flux core weld, how hard can this be!!! Cleaning and painting brake and clutch parts together with the heater box (just for you Carsten :) ) Servo has been cleaned up and is now ready for assembly....... I think.
Crap to Cream, Late MGB, how to bleed the dual brake line system correctly, don't forget the PDWA.

How to bleed the brakes correctly on a late MGB, it’s not the way you might think, it’s not the same as the usual way of doing things, complete reverse actually. Don't forget to disengage the "Pressure Differential Warning Actuator (PDWA)...... View on Specifically for the dual circuit brakes with the servo fitted to the pedal box.
Crap To Cream, MGB servo replacement and strip down. Rebuild will be when the parts arrive.

As you might have seen in a previous video I had a suspected leaking servo unit causing the engine to run rough, I purchased a replacement servo with the idea of putting the repaired servo on my other MGB... eventually!! I replaced the installed servo unit, easyish with a couple of harder bits. Job completed apart from bleeding the brakes again.
Crap to Cream, MGB restoration, Rose has Rust, Rivnuts and heater motor repair. Thanks for watching

Repairing the door latch with some Rivnuts, heater motor wire repair bit easier than expected and surface rust develops into rust holes in the floor pan, joy of joys. Found a useful tool on the internet and my new wiring looms have arrived.
Crap to Cream, the engine change that developed into a lot more, found rust, the rewire continues.

So as some will be aware I started off on this journey of an engine overhaul and supercharger install which has now turned out to be a nigh on major rebuild project. I’ve now finished the suspension rebuild, all the wiring has been removed, the brake system upgrade is progressing and now I’ve found some structural stuff that requires a bit of welding. The heater has been removed for overhaul. F...

Crap to Cream, MGB wiring, dogs breakfast, non-standard it is coming out. New wiring loom to go in.
Просмотров 345Месяц назад
So my eye surgery went well, itching to get back into the shed. The installed wiring loom was never going to be good enough. I had more that enough electrical issues getting the MG over the pits in the first place. This is a reference video as a starting point prior to the removal of the loom. Clearly not standard, I’m hoping the new standard 1974 wiring loom just fits. Please don’t forget to l...
Crap to Cream, nightmare MGB dash removal, not the job I expected it to be, recip saw involved.
Просмотров 412Месяц назад
Not to busy Sunday afternoon thought I would just whizz up to the shed and take my MG dash out prepping for the wiring loom replacement WRONG. The last two dashboards I have removed were easy in comparison to this one. Had to remove half the gauges, vents and the glovebox (which didn’t have a key). The previous owner at some point decided to fit an alarm system, the wiring went everywhere and l...
Crap to Cream, MX5 gearbox fitted to MGB 18V engine. Problem free ATM
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Месяц назад
Done this before, second engine, I was so impressed with fitting the MX5 gearbox to my 1978 MGB that I had to do this conversion to my second 1974 MG considering the issues and oil leaks I had with the original gearbox. Going quite well at the moment. This engine will also be having a VMax supercharger fitted which you will be seeing in other videos. As also mentioned in the video I’m having so...
Crap to Cream, con’t the engine rebuild, tappet adjustment issue fixed…. Onward.
Просмотров 351Месяц назад
The lack of adjustment of the tappets / rockers has now been fixed, machined 2mm off all the rocker shaft posts. All the centerline heights were off by a little bit, now they are all spot on. Spigot bearing offered a challenge, did not want to come out, had to resort to "mechanical violence", now I'm continuing with rebuilding the engine. Fitting the gearbox will next on the menu once I’ve fitt...
Crap to Cream supercharger engine rebuild, problems, nothing is straight forward, is it.
Просмотров 6802 месяца назад
This engine rebuild was going so well, and then I came to adjusting the tappets and suddenly I'm taking the engine apart again........... this rebuild took a few reverse steps, head off again. Got to machine the rocker shaft pedestals to compensate for the decompression plate. Luckily I have a friend who has a milling machine and is an excellent machinist, love it when a plan comes together. Al...
Crap to Cream final part of installing the track correct axle, 2 inch lift & boxes to a Landcruiser
Просмотров 1022 месяца назад
Final video of the installation of the Landcruiser track corrected axel, the 2 inch 50mm shackle lift and storage boxes. Had some issues with the fuel filler neck, not as easy fix as I was hoping, a few more mods than I had expected. Bit of machining, grinding and drilling and everything is now right with the world. Thanks for all the support, comments, subscriptions and feedback.
Crap to Cream, Landcruiser track corrected axle fitted PT2 issues fixed.

This is part 2 of the fitting of the track corrected axle to a 79 series LandCruiser, think it’s the same for the majority of 70 series Cruisers. I came across a few problems / issues mainly caused by fitting the lift kit and not the fitting of the track corrected axle. Relatively straight forward job with easy to follow instructions. I did require assistance to lift the diff centre back in, sa...
