1964 MGB

1964 MG MGB Description:

1964 MGB roadster. 1999 restoration, complete sheetmetal work, paint, complete engine rebuild. Good tires, new top, original red tonneau cover. Old english white, red interior. New seats (vinyl -- have original leather covers if interested). Wire wheels, some extra parts. Non-overdrive.
Very few miles on since restoration. (unsure how many, but less than 5k). Some minor paint scratches since restoration. Have more photos of restoration. I believe I am the 2nd owner. New rockers, inner rocker support panels, lower rear qtrs. Engine: new pistons/cam/lifters/crank turned/ bearings/oilpump, etc. Front end bushings replaced about 8 years ago. Rear shocks were new as of about 10? Years ago (replaced with newer style tube type shocks. Have the old original lever ones though. Interior is for the most part original, with original door panels, carpet and red vinyl floor mats. I don't believe that there are any red replacement mats being made. Seats were done about 5 years ago with new vinyl kits from VicBrit, new foams, new rubber spring support mats (not sure what those are called). I still have original leather seat covers, although pretty rough looking, and original steering wheel. Front tires are practically new, rears are fair to good Michelins. New battery 2 years ago. New starter solenoid a few years back.
Things that don't work/need addressed:
Temp gauge is mechanical and fitting where it goes into the head doesn't seal, so it's still all there, just disconnected. Fuel gauge seems erratic. Speedo does not work. Turn indicator stalk was replaced with aftermarket cheap one, which sometimes works. Still have original one, just needs the plastic 'spring', which are on ebay. Original owner installed a radio in the rear bulkhead, so there is a small cutout at the top of bulkhead between pass compartment and trunk. We were supposed to have fixed that during bodywork, but got overlooked, and .. never got back to it. Original jack (in original bag) does not work -- not sure if somethings stripped out? Needs a good spare tire, have several rims but, either worn splines, or loose spokes.
