CMGC Project Car
1974 MGB-GT

Club Project Car – Paul Pickley noted that the 1974 MGB-GT has moved to Tom Raddatz’s shop. All members will have an opportunity to assist in getting this car running and ready for sale.

Well the club MGB GT project is well underway. The more we strip down the project car the more rust we find. Typical I suspect of most MGs. The parts car is providing sheet metal for the repair.
   
Cutting & grinding the rusted panels and structure is the ongoing task.
 
Not much left of the parts car for the project.


  Current tasks planned:
  1– Welding and structural integrity will probably the
       first task on the agenda.
  2– Fuel system servicing
  3– Engine evaluation and powertrain servicing
  4– Hydraulic systems overhaul
  5– Suspension & steering
  6– Electrical system checkout
  7– Verify safety equipment functional
  8– Interior work
  9– Painting

As the project continues, other items will probably materialize. Who knows?

This is a great opportunity to get involved in repairs that you may not have any experience. Hands-on is a great way to learn new skills.

All members are welcome, no need to sign up...just show up ready to help! We have most of the tools required at the shop.


We meet at Tom’s garage in LaGrange Highlands at around 6:30 pm. See you there!
