MGB GT 2.8 V6
Re: MGB GT 2.8 V6
Started stripping the body and filling the dents the car acquired while being stored at a local garage unit
Sprayed the bonnet with primer I’ll leave for a week before spraying the gloss coat
Engine ticking over nicely still a bit of dressing to do once the bodywork has been completed
Holidays next week if the weather is fine I’ll be able to spray the whole carCrabo249

Top work mate, looking like a fantastic job
Strive for perfection in everything you do

The weather down here hasn't been all that good and certainly not good egnough for painting a car,so i cracked on with stripping the alloy wheels i got from ebay
A couple of coats of paint stripper took care of the old paint
They are now stripped nad ready for a couple of coats of etch primer and some wheel silver

Started to put the panels back on and hook up the lights
Hope to have the rest of the panels back on by the end of the week so I can fit the interior
