Restoration of the suspension, the rear axle (raised by University Motors to 4.3:1 from 5.125:1) the springs, and some chassis stuff.

Front Suspension Tearing down and rebuilding the front suspension, including my choice of the MGB V8 bushings. (35 Images)

Rear Suspension Tearing down and rebuilding the rear suspension. I rebuilt the springs, being careful to preserve the new rubber. The proper torque on the rear axle was accomplished. Best of all, a set of MGA gears were installed to raise the final ratio from 5.125:1 to 4.3:1. (39 Images)

Tires and Wheels The tires were one of the reasons I started on this journey. I took the car out of storage and figured the old bias ply treads were too far gone. I couldn't see getting new tires on a shot suspension and tub... and the restoration was on. I didn't go with powder coating, the material just looks too thick to me, and I went with a very nice but inexpensive 165R15 radial. I can't wait to drive them! (9 Images)
