And an MGB is a relatively simple car! I just spent three years on the engine in the 450SLC - and that was just to mechanical sound-ness and nice to look at, not anywhere near to "like new". The ACC and interior is starting to appear a bit daunting!
While I did completely disassemble my '67 MGB that was mostly to allow me to replace and clean old parts - not to the kind of restoration ya'll did to the Speedster I found it to be a huge project. I'm still putting it back together after 16 years. Granted, a big part of that time was dead time while contemplated how I would deal with all the rust. I eventually bought a rust free B on ebay and transferred all my parts to it. But I still have the *whole* frigging interior to finish. ;-( Yep, it's a huge effort.
