1964 MGB

Well, it's May of 2022 and this is my first post in a while here. My '64 B that I have cussed and fret over for more than 9 years may now turn out to be one of my favorite MGB's yet. It is performing very well and hasn't given me any trouble in a while. I may keep it a while longer and enjoy it. Bill

Comment by Bob Stevens

It's heartwarming to hear you enjoying tou 1964 MGB. I have the same year and have walked past it for the past 2 years tasked with so many other priorities...it is needy and has been ignored. I'm feeling inspired to start it up and take it for one of those exhilerating drives in the country that my wife hates: driver's seat is only the metal frame, shocks need a rebuild, no interior, no top, wind in my face...Thanks for the post.

'64 MGB Front Suspension

Here it is July 12th and I'm pulling the front suspension on my car. The front tires were wobbling and bouncing when I hit a hole in the road. I found out my front shock was low on fluid and my suspension is worn out. I knew this was coming so it's not a big surprise. I will start tearing it down and making a list. July 17th. : worked on it some more and decided I am going to buy the swivel axle already built as I don't have the time or tools to do it. I am also replacing brake lines, bearings and anything else that needs it.

MGB

May 17th. as I'm still trying to decide whether to keep my '64 MGB or sell it and get a early MGB/GT. It's hard to decide as my '64 is so nice. It's going to be hard to find a decent early GT that is nice. I wish my old '67 had not been as rusty and needing so much work. However, my '64 is nice so I may be tempted to keep it. Anyone out there with a nice GT that wants to sell or trade, let me know, Bill.

1964 MGB Finally Running

Well here it is Feb.4th. and my '64 B is finally running well enough to take out on the road. I've been adjusting on the carbs and timing and it is now running reasonably well. It still has a slight hesitation but I can work that out eventually. I hope to now take it to Barbers and drive it daily. Only time will tell. Bill

Finished Home And Ready To Move On

Well, here it is Nov. 28, 2018. We are in our new home and enjoying it a lot. I have since sold the 1973 MGB roadster I bought to resell and made a little profit on it. I have also sold my 1967 MGB/GT that I said I never would sell. It was just too much rust and work to do to keep it and restore it at my age. I now only have a 1964 MGB roadster that I've owned for almost 5 years and very rarely drive because I am always having to work on it. However, I will keep it for now and enjoy my new home with my wife and 2 dogs on the lake. Bill

Sold The GT

Getting too old to handle 2 cars. Now that we will be on the water I no longer have the time for 2 cars. Also, the rust issues were really becoming a major problem. I don't have the money to restore the GT like I would have wanted, Bill
