"not a pro" tip: taking the car to an alkaline bath followed by an acid bath will remove all paint and undercoating, then remove all rust. It's then typically dipped into a rust encapsulator reaching every conceivable nook and cranny, giving you a very clean slate...

any chance you still have the link to the kit? or could you update it with similar pieces that will work pleasee

Just thrifted one for $2! Took a few Lysol wipes & some elbow grease but looks good as new! I’m working on saving up for an iPod Classic which is perfect for the dock. Just ordered a cheap aux cable to get me by for now. Planning to get a Bluetooth adapter for the aux port when I can. Found the remote on eBay for $7. Slowly but surely, I’ll get there. I love mine & for $2?! Very happy camper. 😊

@DR. Fixit, PLZ I need your advice for 2 questions before i purchase the same pack: 1- Is it true that SSD/ipod got super hot when using the ipod? 2- Did you try to install Rockbox on that SSD without any issue? Thank you

I have a ipod video 30GB U2 special edition. I have put a msata adapter in the ipod with a 256GB SSD. I get the same message on ipod screen when i start it. And then on the screen Do not disconnect. But in windows 10 i see the ssd , i can format it and put files on the ssd. But in itunes i dont see the ipod at all. Do you have tips what this problem is ?

7:40 Get a few cans of WD40 and the last bits of undercoating will wipe off.

Need a white brush not yellow

But... Chiropractor's aren't really doctors, are they?

Fuel filter on backwards. Looks like a fun project

Sister had a Spitfire Mk2, what a cobbled piece of engineering! It ran pretty good but was scary to drive as the suspension was so loose. So my other sister tops her and buys a Fiat 850! Oh boy...both convertibles had wooden dashboards and you could get splinters from the bottom of them. The Fiat had wires spilling out from under the dash and it never ran 100%, she sold it 3 months later to her mechanic and saw it burning on side of freeway 2 weeks after that, true story. Im putting same carb on my Mazda pickup.

Based on experience with my 2 77 MGB's you're going to need a Chiropractor 🤣

Will it just stay on the apple logo? Mines stay on the apple logo and wont get pass it. Also the black light won't light up 😢

Do we need to put a tape on the SSD & battery?

Chiropractor 😂

It's not just junk it's Sony anyway lol and it's good to recover things rather than consuming everything awesome your video on the iPod with a big battery and 1SSD I think I'll do the same👍👍👍 Ce n'est pas que de la camelote c'est du Sony quand même lol et c'est bien te récupérer les choses plutôt que de consommer à tout va génial ta vidéo sur l'iPod avec une grosse batterie et 1SSD je crois que je vais faire pareil👍👍👍

Can you hear the fuel pump ticking?

I'm glad you stuck with it. Not everybody has the will to work on mechanical things. You may want to replace that fuel filter and install the new one where the particles accumulate in the bowl where you can see it.

im so excited to watch more

Good job, man. Tell me please, will there still be a place to install taptic engine?

T his name w x😂🎉😢 😂😂. . L.. 😅Pll

Have a `78 MGB roadster as my daily driver, `75-B as project vehicle w/5sp + even a `76-B untitled parts car. Yes, they are a blast to drive. Had prob`s w/my original Stromberg & replaced w/sidedraft Weber. Also had overheating prob`s during slow busy traffic and tried various things like adding a constant mechanical fan to help out the factory electric one. In desperation I finally added the radiator (with cap on top) from `76 parts car & am now running twin rad`s underhood and all is fine.

Kit from China, wow it must be good then 🥴

I recently found the exact same one at my local thrift store for the same price. I use it for work and i love it. It sounds amazing! Small but powerful! Sadly Sony doesn't make them anymore.

Did you use dawn dish detergent by chance?!

Would this be a good time to fix brakes, or find someone to weld perforated floor panels in place? I mean, you're doing such a good job. (No snark, I'm sincere)

Nice to have a meticulous, steady, understandable approach presented in auto rehabilitation!

My Sister in Law has a red 1977 MGB. It has been sitting under her shed in Alabama for 40 plus years. She wrecked it. Some Yahoo pull out in front of her. Messed up the front. Took it to a shade tree mechanic. He screwed up the wiring. She, and her husband just park it. After so long They may want to sell it. Have not seen the car for 40 years myself. I would think it would be good for parts.

I enjoyed your video. It’s not easy getting a 40 something year old car to run again. I had a 72 MGB in college. It hasn’t run in 40 years and I am stepping way outside my comfort zone and have started the restoration project on it. Just started a CZcams channel called MaggiesMakeover to chronicle the journey. Should be fun. Good luck with your car!

Those stains must have been very recent, because if your brown water stains are old and completely dried and sunk in, you're screwed.

Thing about an MG clutch is that the throw out bearing doesn’t turn. When you press on or hold the clutch down, the stationary bearing is pressed against the clutch pressure plate which spins with the engine. When at a stop, the car should be in neutral with pedal unpressed. Clutch pedal should only be used to take off and switch gears. Also driving with your foot on the pedal wears the throw out bearing. I’ve changed a lot of clutches for people. Can remove the engine in about an hour now.😀 Have fun with that car. They are easy to work on and a blast to drive.

That ASMR was oddly satisfying 🫠

Really cool Doc!

I love your videos man awesome stuff bud:)

Gday - Brings back so many memories on my rolling restoration on my G including sill replacement and other patching. If you can somehow lift the carpet and apply POR 15 to both side then you'd stand a greater chance of longivity, as these cars tend to rust from the inside out. The POR15 works well except you have to ensure it does not see any sun as it is UV sensitive. I'd recommend you paint a top coat to protect it. Perhaps consider truck bed liner or the type. I agree the method you used to remove the underseal (scraper and heat gun) is the best method method I used. Labor intensive but works. I'm looking forward to your next installment!

5:22 , ah yes, we all personally have done the 'taking a video of hard to look at spots on your car' video hahaha

LOL, all your doing is water staining the whole seat to match the original water stain. 😂

I just got one.. I tried connecting it but it almost blow all my devices in the house. Maybe perhaps I didn't connect it well. Funny I don't even know how it's plug looks like. I need your help

Is enough space there? inside the ipod if i replace only the battery but not the Hard drive...

Www.BullseyeExpressions.com

How goes the project?? I have a right-hand drive 1980 MGB that belonged to my father in Scotland. Was in great shape when I shipped it over to Canada, but sadly the interior was trashed by squirrels and it sat in a barn for too long. Hoping to one day convert it to an electric version. Any advice from anyone reading this would be much appreciated!

Nice little project. Don't know why some peeps say "get rid" as the MGB is such a simple car to work on and most parts are cheap? I have a GT and several Range Rovers.... plus Harleys so I get a lot of stick from "armchair critics" who heard from someone who heard from someone else etc.. etc.. In the US these little cars were never designed for route 66 travel so will always come up short against a yank tank, whereas here in the UK they are perfect for skipping around our country lanes.

I saw that What Separates Me from You syncing! Nice jams mate, great video

I got same iPod and same radio

oye me puedes decir como puedo prender mi bocina icf-cs10ip sin control remoto

Just came across this video doing research for my own MGB restoration and now I also can't wait for the long overdue update

how bout an extractor?

Does the battery last longer with SSD or is there a better way?

Uhm. Chiropractors are absolutely not doctors. At least not Medical ones. That's an important distinction.

This is crazy lol! Looks like I have the same style truck in this vid, same stains on the same side, AND I work for Ryobi.

will you keep going with this?
