MGB rust repair is one of our most common jobs, and often one of the most necessary as well! This particular example is actually in better shape than most we see here in the North East.
The car arrived mostly disassembled - first we pulled the drivetrain We then cut out the common rust areas to allow the mediablaster to access inner panels as well.
The car was completely soda blasted to remove all paint and rust The rear valance was hit pretty hard at some point in the past - this will be cut out and replaced
We were pleased to see that the inner membranes were actually OK Drilling out the spotwelds
rear valance panel completely removed new panel welded in
Both floors completely removed and flanges cleaned driver side floor pan prepped for installation Inner membrane rust-through
full replacement of the membrane was necessary on the passenger side
outer sills closed up on the driver's side and coated with rust-preventative Sometimes it is only necessary to patch small rust areas
Door gaps are very critical during rust repair - we work hard to maintain excellent gaps These supports are common rust areas as well - the top has been completely replaced
off to the painter Back from the paint shop, beautiful and ready for reassembly
This car was not painted on a rotisserie, and will be a driver, so the standard practice is to apply undercoat to the chassis before installing refurbished suspension components The new floors and sills will be protected for another 40 years
