Awesome video mate, thanks again for having us down and sharing our channel.

You guys can probably tell all 3 of us were knackered by the end of this, took us 3 days to recover 😂

Thanks again everyone who watches amd supports both channels me, Charlie and James really appreciate it.

Small correction, that's not a cold air intake because it's sucking the warm air of the engine compartment, especially so since it's right above the exhaust manifold.  Re-route it so the filter is forward of the compartment and THEN it'll be intaking cold air.  :)

"Cold air intake".....directly above a hot exhaust manifold. 🤔🤣

What a transformation, the MX5 power pack makes the car more usable. Well done to Steve and Charlie for great paintwork. Not forgetting you James.

Those arches! 😩😩.  Looks brilliant otherwise - pass me the screwdriver!! 🤣🤣. Terrific effort to turn the car around so quickly though by one and all 👍👍

I'd not bother with fibre glass panels mate, adding lightness (as Colin Chapman said) will make it stand high, you'll be messing about with spring rates, also Mx5 engine is probably a fair bit lighter anyway.

Look forward to more MGB fun. Those cars make me smile and remind me of the world when it was a better place

I did read, a long time ago, that when designing the MX5, Mazda had an MG in the studio - and tuned their exhaust to match. Nice story if true.

Supercharging rather than turbo would suit the MG much better. No lag 👍

Where is the turboed MX5 for sale?

Seems to be a great friendship there.Fair dues to all three of ye for the effort,personally not that shade of grey for me but not my car,looks great overall.

i think wing liners and fitting kit should be made for these cars and other old cars

Had a 1963 MGB roadster: sky blue with red leather interior (smelled great), wire wheels with knockoffs, real toggle switches, minimal chromed steel bumpers, 98 hp, 107 mph. Loved the car.
After wearing out the 63, got 1967 MGB-GT: British Racing Green, with red interior, still had wire wheels with knockoffs, real toggle switches. Great cars both!

WOW fantastic James, great video again, and well done Home Built, another great channel

Love the new look of this MGB, grey and black really suit it. Hope to see more of this one

It is an incredible job, and car looks brilliant. Well done home built 👍👍👍👍👍

That looks like the Mk1 MX 5 1.6 engine to me. The most obvious feature of this 1.6  v the later 1.8 engine is the position of the thermostat housing which sits horizontally rather than vertical on the 1.8's. Power was 115 BHP but was then reduced to 89 BHP in 1994 when the 1.8 was introduced. I think that  I really need to get a life!  😆

The Green MGB should be kept original

03/03/25. I remember now. I started to watch this when it was released, and stopped when I saw you had the temerity to place a hairdresser's car engine into an MGB. I think this deserves you becoming a member of my DRC Club.

Looking forward to seeing it with the wheels on!  Looks good in the grey.

Pukka 👌🥳💯 lads, nice mowtaaa
