The MGB is one of the worst cars I’ve worked on for bodywork (and suspension despite how simple it looks). The sills especially are a pain.

they are all a pain when there is rust to deal with. I am currently working on a vw type 3 squareback, rotten to the core. Replacement panels , if you can sorce them are 1500 per wheel bulkhead. You would need to see a couple of kidneys to buy one. And mine have had some Jameson passed through them on occasion, so i doubt they are worth a lot to anyone else :lol:
