Several years back I inherited my grandfather's 1966 MGB a few years after he passed. After my grandmother fell, slipped into a coma, and passed away back in 1985, he couldn't bear driving "their car" anymore and let it sit in the garage. When he remarried in 2000 he had it cleaned up and would putz around the block occasionally. It wasn't road worthy but cleaned up nice.
As the only one in the family with the ability to fix it, I took on the process of tearing it down. Rebuilt the 1800cc engine, 100% new fuel (tank/lines/pump), brakes (all components/lines/etc), rebuilt suspension, new bushings, new interior, etc.

Currently, it's up on a custom rolling stand to allow suspension removal/rebuilt before the full re-assembly starts. I realize that my build log is a few years outdated and missing a lot of info.
