I just drove my £1400 chrome bumper MGB GT from London to Manchester (230miles). Windy, awful weather-but the car didnt miss a beat and was remararkably comfortable. I absolutely fell in love with it...and so will you when your car is ready!

I found an angle grinder the most useful !! Don't imagine there's any other way but cut out the rot!
Sorry, my pics are olde paper ones! But it took me a year to get a rusty old banger on the road again, and at times, seems like an eternal project..but keep it up, you'll get there eventually!
