I RESTORE THIS 50 YEAR OLD MGB REAR AXLE AND IMPROVE IT WITH FRONTLINE PARTS

MGB - The Rot Box Resurrection

MGB gt restoration

In this video I restore a very rusty MGB tube axle. I also show you how to set up a LSD (limited slip differential) and install ‪@frontlinecars‬ Hardened drive shafts. This is a 50 year old MGB axle and it looked like it had never been apart so as you have probably guessed it was not an easy process!

Spoiler alert, I get it done in the end! But not without several issues along the way!
