    I have a 35 Buick that was restored the first time in the mid 70 s and repainted a couple of times since that. I had small rust bubbles in various areas and wanted to get it taken care of. A local restoration shop said they'd do it for $30,000 ! But I found a man who's doing it in his garage for $2500. He's also taking it down to bare metal. Its been about a year now and he's working at his own pace mainly just on weekends but hey for the price, I can wait. I've seen some of his work and he is a perfectionist,so maybe this year. So far the fenders, grille shell,trunk lid and hood are off and body are down to bare metal and I've had some parts rechromed. Time is on my side. Greg.

    Front brakes Locked up on mgb

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, I couldn't get into the MGB forum so maybe some one on this site can help.I took my 74 mgb out for lunch today and on the way back home I smelled something hot and it turned out that my front disc brakes on both sides locked up. I finally got it home and after it cooled off it now rolls as it should.Last week I noticed that the brake fluid was a little low so I topped it off using synthetic fluid as a sticker on the mc said. I know I didn't overfill it. I did notice a little speck of something that could've blocked the vent hole on the cap and the rubber cap gasket was flat in a couple of areas. I guess I'll just drive it again and see what happens. Any suggestions? Thanks,Greg.

    Mounting radio in 1933?

    Hi I have a 35 Buick and bought a RCA transit radio at a car show with the remote head for it. I later gutted it and put a radio shack transistor radio in the box. It worked o.k. but changing batteries was a pain! If you decide you ever want to sell your radio let me know as someone said it was for a 35 Buick. Thanks, Greg.

    Hard starting after sitting a few days

    Thanks for all the information. Its a downdraft carb. After running and starting up the same day it starts really well. The fuel pumps on a switch. I removed it for now but I might try to relocate it nearer to the tank. Also I forgot to mention that it turned over very slowly after a run but if I let it sit until its cold, it would turn over fine. I think I solved that with a better ground strap. Greg.

    My 35 Buick takes awhile to start after sitting awhile unless I pump the gas repeatedly six or seven times while operating the starter or if I squirt gas down the carbuerater.I tried a six volt electric fuel pump but didn't seem to help much,I probably Had it too far from the tank.I wonder if a squeeze type bulb that some boat motors use would help. Any ideas? Thanks,Greg.

    My 35 is a four door sedan with the trunk and rear spare tire carrier. Its currently being stripped down to bare metal and repainted, I'll be soo glad when its finished. Last time it was done was in the mid 70's. I live on the east coast of Fl.just south of Titusville. Many someday you can do or help me with my rear end. Thanks, Greg.

    I. Have a 1935 Buick the is currently being restored  and while the grille shell is off I thought it would be a good idea to install a 6 volt electric fan pusher fan in front of the radiator. Though it never really ran hot I thought it might come in handy when stopped at long red lights or in a parade. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks. Greg
