Dragging a 1971 MGB out of the Woods after 20years! Will it Run? Part 2 

I love seeing old cars coming out their resting place and coming back to life. A+

I would love to watch ya do a full rebuild!!!

Full rebuild. Cool the old MG coming back from the dead.

Yes please, an engine strip down and rebuild would be great to see.

It would be fun to watch you rebuild that engine. Love how you’re not afraid of any car, any problem, any fix.

Rebuild would be awesome, I love watching all of these MGs being brought back to life!

Rebuild. It deserves another life.

Always loved they way the MGB and Triumph TR7 looked. Love from Central SC.

Great job, thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers

Great project, bring the MG back to life! Worth it.

Nice seeing you and your dad have a chuckle about the near start rewarding with the fire. Enjoying the content.

Rebuild what you can for us. Move the rest out Keep up the good work

Hell yeah, rebuild that little beauty!

Awesome throwback video!

I'd love to watch the rebuild. It was great to watch you pop off the MG. Love those little cars.

Mother Nature was so happy this god damn oil burning MG was parked for good and then you guys came along! :)

Sheet metal for English cars - particularly MG's - is very reasonable and there are tons of parts around. Even in Canada you can usually find a decent fender or wing for $125.00. Usually it is only the bottom that is rotten and repair pieces are less than $50.00 new. If the tunnel and rear bulkhead are intact it is not beyond a DIY person to replace the castles, repair the bulkhead and replace the sills.

That is absolutely amazing it sounds soooooo nice ❤❤❤

Yes. A pre-74, chrome bumpered, wire-wheeled MGB. Some good potential there.

I have a '79 B that is as reliable as a modern car. She's fully restored, love MGB's! Great show ya got there. 👏

As a MGB owner myself, I would love to see a full engine rebuild

Rebuild!?! Personally I would prefer you do a full restoration of this MGB

Enjoy your enthusiasm. Very entertaining. Worth saving the engine for something, but that body is returning to the earth it came from.

That was awesome! Would love to see it driving!👌😎👍

Would love to see a full rebuild on the motor!👍

Full rebuilt . The car deserve it . And all original.

Yes, go for the rebuild! All parts are available. Even a brand new body shell from the U.K.!

Yeah would love to see the full rebuild. I'm really loving seeing the mgs in the USA getting some love.

Yes I would definitely watch a complete rebuild on the motor plus good idea

Used to have an MGBGT in the 80s. Love to see the engine rebuilt. Go for it !

That car deserves a full restoration please restore her.

Yes I would love to watch a Full Rebuild I always enjoy watching a Full Rebuild this Engine Does need it :)

Yes I wanna see you pull it and rebuild it

Videos are getting better! I l know from experience its tough at first to make a good video so keep it up! Need some inspiration for my Porsche build cant wait for another vid on that.

Well done!! This is alive!! Saludos desde Alicante-Spain (España)

My first project car was a 70 MGB. Got it running, did the floor boards, painted it in the garage, rebuilt carbs ... electric was a rats nest :) Eventually sold it, but that car was fun! Great video, I love how you guys rebuild old stuff, and get your hands dirty! Totally love the 912 videos! Keep those coming!

I'm enjoying your work, these "will it start" episodes are a great inspiration, I am about to try and start an old Reliant Regal engine that has been sat for 36 years as part of my own rebuild.

Subscribed, but want a full rebuild of the car!! Hell, this is a British classic

A complete 1275cc rebuild would be awesome! You guys rock!

These older cars where positive ground and it looks like it was converted. Good to see.

Yes please rebuild the engine; a lovely iconic car I am enjoying your content.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻

Really great video content and presentation! Cool to see the old MG community getting some love here. And yes, a full rebuild series would be awesome! Keep it up!

Wow! I had one of these 50 years ago. I would love to see you get the engine running and actually drive it around a little before the subframe disintegrates.

Yessss. Would live to see the tear down and rebuild of the engine!

Full restore of the entire vehicle would be awesome

Well, you've started her up. Congratulations! 😊

full rebuild would be awesome, it be nice to see what seems like an impossible recovery MGB to be restored in running condition. Definitely alot of rust fixing though

Damn straight! Pull it out and rebuild. Love to watch it.

Poor little MG, you deserved better 😥

Yes full rebuild on the little MG!!!

Absolutely pull it and rebuild it!!

Those were beautiful little cars.

Definitely a rebuild for sure 🇦🇺👍

Full rebuild Mike - sounds like fun!

It’s up to you if you want to do a full rebuild, I’ll watch it if you do 👍

Nice work. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the videos glad to see that it runs ok. The engine rebuild would be cool to see cant wait for the next video

Mike, love where the channel os headed. Totally gone from good videos to really solid build content. The pace and editing are really good. It shows you love what your doing. Keep em coming.

Rebuild it - yah!

A " teardown and rebuild! Oh Yes!

Yes, do a full rebuild...👍

back in the day I would always sandpaper the points, the contact on the rotor arm and scrape the contacts inside the distributor cap with a small screwdriver...never failed..

I love classic cars being saved from their forestry graves

Full rebuild, overbore with Dolomite pistons, ported and polished head, 4-2-1 exhaust and weber 45's ... Yup... been there done that. Great engine. Almost bullet proof (Almost !)

Woohoo, great job and thank you for sharing. As Vice Grip Garage says "weight reduction (rust)".

Def to a full rebuild!

Hell ya a rebuild would be cool

My oldest brother had a new 1971 MGB, years later I had a 1972 MGB (not fast but fun).

I would love to see a full rebuild on the motor and also the flame blowing back at your face that was funny

Yep!! A rebuild would be great, Also, The lobes in the dizzy need de rusting or the heel of the points will wear down quickly and eventually the points won't be able to open!!

Yeah definitely a rebuild. I would love to see that. Keep up the good work. You're getting there.

It’s a MGB yes I would really enjoy a rebuild on this engine 👍🏻

Full rebuild would be great, love these old cars

This car deserves to be restored

Mike Its just great watching you guys getting cars start up again I remember at the age of 16 I bought a ols austin minie and a old fotd anglia both cars drove in to my ba k garden but would never start up again myuncle worked on them but would not run again I would to had a go at them now to see why they would not run whay you show us all is how to do this just briliant stuff my friend I love your chanel we want more like this please your biggesr fan Phil in the UK

Looks like a new body shell for the Lady MGB easy cars to work on had a few in my life

yes a full rebuild and new floor Awesome Car and Happy New Year!!

General rule for setting contact points....V8 engines .016 4 and 6 cyl. engines .020.

old british engines are brilliant, i had an old morris minor that was sat in a field for 30yrs all the paint had come off but still solid no rot, put new plugs in it fresh fuel a set of new tyres battery and it fired up and went through an MOT lol, even brakes just cleaned up,

I would watch a full rebuild.

ofc I would enjoy seeing that.

As always, fun to watch. :-)

MG engines are pretty tough! If only the bodies help up as well! Best tractor engine ever installed in a sports car! I thought that was a snake skin until I realized that was the sad remains of the fan belt! Keep saving those MGs!

Oh yes!! It would be great to have an engine rebuild on one of these cars ☺

Keith from Canada here, would love to see a rebuild on this cool car 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. Living in Ireland, we had a lot of experience with these old BMC A and B series engines so I love watching the re-starts! By the way, from memory the points gap is 16 thou! Keep up the good work.

Incredible... Amazing Job!!!

Great to see Americans having fun with an MG 👍🏻

Hi guys, it's lovely to see Americans have the interest in restoring English cars! .. As to your full engine rebuild, I would suggest sort the carbs drain the old oil and fill it with flushing oil and run it a bit.. You may find then on an oil change rebuild not required

Yes I would love to watch a rebuild always fun watch them

Nice work. It's so good when you get an old engine to run. Re build her.

Love seeing old abandoned cars finding life after so many years rusting away. By all means save that engine. A rebuild would make good content and provide a base for an MG build.

Easy restart for old LBCs. I've done MGs, classic Minis, Triumphs, Jags, Healeys out of fields, garages, basements and barns. Some in as little as 20 minutes. Only one was seized from overheating. Started working on them in 68. Worked for an MG dealer. Gap& clean plugs, check valve clearances, clean/adjust points, clean out float bowls, needles & seats and dashpots, add a separate temp gas supply, check oil. When all else failed, we used to use matchbook covers to gap points as they were 0.015" 2,000 grit is too smooth. Used to have point files. File them flat. Dont polish. SUs require the dashpots to function properly as they meter the fuel from the jets. You likely never got a real oil pressure reading, but it sounds okay. Properly tuned & lubed I bet that motor is a decent runner. Do yourself a favor and get a comprehensive manual. Have fun!

Rebuild vid would be great! That body is toast I’d see if you could find a better body and drop the rebuild in. Put in a rebuilt one in my ‘72 b and it was a great learning experience for a high school student. They don’t make them like that anymore. Keep up the great work!

Love your channel, would be great to see a video on adjusting timing or setting points, keep the revivals coming!

Please do a full rebuild!

This video was a lot of fun to watch! The k.i.s.s. principal works. I'd love to see this engine live again! 👍🖖
