Crap To Cream
Австралия
Добавлен 27 апр 2008
Predominantly focused on MGB restorations and upgrades. I have two MGB roadsters one was a complete rebuild and the second one is a partial rebuild. My channel covers bodywork, and mainly the mechanics of a restoration.
Tied in with this is some upgrades, like fitting a supercharger, instrumentation, brakes upgrades and quite a bit of electrical work which is not my favorite aspect of restoration work.
About me: - My name is Marty and I have moved into full time retirement after several years as a Machinery Engineer in the Oil and Gas industry. I'm following my passion working on what are now classic cars, focused on the MG brand.
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 modifications to hopefully make the vehicle look better run more reliably.

Crap to Cream MGB rear axle upgrade / conversion drum to disc brakes, + hints tips & headaches. Pt1
This video is about the strip down of the rear axle and removal of the half shafts as part of the Frontline drum to disc brake upgrade / conversion. Being on wires the hubs come with their own challenges. The half shafts don't have to be removed to do this upgrade / conversion, however I chose to do so to replace the wheel bearings and the axle lip seals.
Half shaft removal and then an issue I found with the Frontline conversion kit when reassembling. This problem has been easily resolved, and the replacement parts are being air bagged over to me in true Frontline fashion. Great company to work with. Problem is caused by the Australian ADR rules and the design of the handbrake mechanism,...

Crap To Cream, my MGB modifications / upgrades, me explaining what they are and why I did them.
Просмотров 50014 часов назад
Just running through the modifications I’ve done to Rose and some of the reasoning as to why I’ve done them. A little bit longer than usual, hope the video isn't too long, there were a few modifications. I’m sure I will get some feedback from the purists, I’m not building a concours car, just a reliable car I can drive and be proud of, it’s just what I wanted to do. Got some interesting stuff i...

Little bit longer this video.......... Lovely sunny Sunday, 44 degrees C in the shed time for a run out with the wind in my hair to see how the engine is with the timing (supposedly) right, not so sure how right it is. Stuart (VMax) I'll take any information you have, or if you need more info from me let me know. Project 18V engine now stripped, where to from here, rebore or leave it? That’s th...
Crap to Cream, MGB engine oil leak continues, trim install and new engine project.

Still fighting an oil leak that just doesn’t want to be fixed. Installing some remaining trim and introducing my new engine project, need to discover if this will be a "spruce-up" or a major rebuild......... Start off by stripping the engine down.

Crap to Cream, MGB burst oil line repair, another mess, fuses and brakes, my fault 😇
Просмотров 49428 дней назад
The burst oil line has now been replaced minus the thermostat (for now). The second line was also replaced, couldn’t replace just one. Suspect that having the wrong fuses in the fan circuit and not crimping the braid outside the rubber hose were contributing factors that lead to the failure. Broke the oil flex line from the engine to the pressure gauge, waiting for a new one, the gift that just...
Cream to Crap, MGB oil pipe fail, oil everywhere, no oil pressure, everything was going so well.

Thought we would take Rose for Sunday afternoon drive to Jonothan and Jess’s home for a Sunday lunch, ended up on the back of a tilt tray. Lost the oil pressure due to no oil in the sump, Oh, what a mess, very lucky I didn't seize the engine. #oil #leak #failure #engine #pressure #low #breakdown #tow #mess #failure #lucky #mg

First run out with the MG and the new supercharger and MX5 gearbox. Transforms the driving experience, one additional point of note, the Spax shox conversion improves the ride quality no end. Brakes are pretty Crap, still need more bleeding to reach the Cream standard. Enjoy the video and Happy New Year everyone. #mg #first #run #great #supercharger #transforms #gearbox #fantastic #drive #upgra...
Crap to Cream, MGB ready for the first test drive with the supercharger. One problem to sort out.
Просмотров 588Месяц назад
Thought I would just bleed the brakes and throw the rear wheels on, not that simple when the rims hit the brake calipers. Relatively simple quick fix, wheels on, dust off the bodywork and test run the engine with coolant for the first time properly………. All good, no leaks, looking forward to tomorrow. Happy New Year to you all. #mg #problem #wheels #rubbing #engine #test #drive #polish #first #s...
Crap to Cream, MGB seats installed, new brake system leaks despite trying lots of creative options.
Просмотров 350Месяц назад
Installed the seat rails on the seats, put the seats in, nothing is straight forward!! New brake system on the rear axle leaks at the junction block, frustrating, it should be a straightforward assembly. As luck would have it, on the last assembly when I just "threw it together" with a level of frustration it doesn't leak, go figure......... #mg #problem #brake #leaks #seats #rails #installatio...

Having another go at fitting the drum to disc conversion kit on my MGB rear axle. Comes with a few issues that need to be fixed. The issue that stopped me fitting the disc calipers originally has been resolved by Frontline. #mg #mgb #installation #rear #brake #drum #disc #conversion #kit #issues #problems

Crap to Cream, MGB engine first start after supercharger installation. Did it start or didn't it?

This is genuinely the first start after the engine major overhaul and the supercharger installation, as you will see. Involved a bit of smoke..... A supercharger is born............ Couple of things for you Stuart, including a couple of questions. Dashboard center console installed, not as good as I would have liked, saying that all is not lost yet.... Got to make a bit of a gap up. #supercharg...

All fixed in the end, adapt, improvise, overcome, lots of that to be done here. Now onto the i...
