It started one autumn day that me and my father was looking at the ads in the daily morning paper "Smålandsposten". Suddenly i saw one small ad that was saying "MGB 65" and a phone number.

We called the number and was invited to visit the guy who was selling his dream car. I believe it was
that he had had the car for a summer or 2 but now felt that he needed the money and didn't have the
time to restore the car.

After some discussions we bought the car for some 9.000:- Sek , a lot of money at that time..

Then the real work started.... ( Puuh.. )

We dismounted the car in every screw, piece & rubber part that it consisted of.

Here you see how it looked in some different views.

• Could this really become something...
• Open up, open up...
• Yep.. We do need a rear mirror...
• To really make all rust go away you need to strip the car...
• No way this will shine...
• Hmmm I can see the engine but where is the car...
• The shining...
• People thought it should be viewed at a show...
• A shining carburator gives a fast car.. ( not? )
• Can you see this in a car today..  or this...
• Door removed to make a better picture...
• Puuh.. Need to mount headlight's hood and front...
• My brother seems to want the engine... ( for his MGB )

Well guess why it was an MG that "happened"..
