Mike,
I did mine with common shop tools - wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers,
pliers, etc. I ended up buying a tap and die set during the project and
I already had common auto diagnostic and tune up equipment. Any
welding got done by others. If you start with a 77 - 80 model MGB,
there is almost no welding needed. The 74 1/2 to 76 needs a bit.
Earlier cars require a bunch, and I wouldn't have been able to do it
myself.
Cheers,
Rick Huber
