  • - Those are some smells.

  • - [Davin] Ever had a project that's stuck,

  • stalled or over your head?

  • - [Matt] Sometimes it just takes an extra set of eyes

  • or an extra set of hands.

  • - [Davin] Enter the Wrenchmen.

  • Follow along as we travel the country

  • getting classic cars back on the road.

  • (hard rock music)

  • - I'm Jocelyn Davis.

  • - And I'm David Davis.

  • - And we have a 1970 British racing green

  • right hand drive MGB which we both really love.

  • Even when we didn't go to car shows,

  • we would drive it around, you know, go and see friends.

  • And then all of a sudden Dave would go 'round the corner

  • and it would start to splutter a lot.

  • And then one day it just, it spluttered and kind of cut out.

  • Tried to start it the next morning

  • and it just really wouldn't hold.

  • - I worked on it for a while.

  • And I worked on it and got frustrated.

  • I've changed the pump, I've changed the gas lines.

  • Put a FireBall electric ignition on it.

  • And everything just wasn't addin' up.

  • - We actually have got a car show this coming Saturday

  • and obviously put the details for the MGB and keeping

  • our fingers crossed we're gonna take it Saturday.

  • - Yep.

  • It's gonna be a joy.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I'll be smiling from ear to ear.

  • (garage door opening)

  • - [Jocelyn] Hi guys!

  • - [Matt] Hello. - Hey how are you?

  • I'm David.

  • - I'm Matt.

  • - Matt.

  • (crosstalk)

  • - So what you got under the cover here?

  • - [Dave] Well we got a 1970 MGB,

  • right hand drive, chrome bumper.

  • - [Davin] Alright, well let's see it.

  • (country rock music)

  • Well you got an awful nice car here, David.

  • So what's stopping you from driving?

  • - Well I'm having a few problems with the carburetor

  • and, let's see I'm having a few problems with the brakes.

  • A little bit of a problem with the electrics

  • and that's what's basically keeping me.

  • - Luckily Matt knows a little bit about carburetors.

  • - I do.

  • And electrical.

  • - And electrical.

  • And we can tackle the brakes

  • and see if we can getcha back out there.

  • - Well I appreciate it when we get

  • back to the car shows again.

  • - There you go, sir. - Alright.

  • - My first task here's gonna be in this right front corner.

  • It appears that the upper shock is leaking,

  • or both shock is leaking.

  • We're gonna check these wheel bearings.

  • For how good the bearings are themselves

  • and obviously to repack them.

  • And then secondly we need to get to the,

  • to the spring anyway so poppin' the shock off is mandatory.

  • Get the caliper out of the way.

  • (banging metal)

  • (country rock music)

  • (ratcheting)

  • (country rock music)

  • - So these carbs.

  • You need to rebuild them from time to time for sure.

  • There's actually a lot of moving parts

  • even though it kinda doesn't seem like it.

  • This is your tapered needle.

  • Which I can feel is corroded.

  • Which is gonna impede fuel flow.

  • This was actually stuck,

  • when I first got here.

  • Just how it happens, you know.

  • A big sign is if it hasn't driven for a long time

  • and it's full of gas, it's going to stink

  • and I know you can't smell this one,

  • but it in no way resembles gasoline.

  • Smells like David on a fresh summer's night.

  • - [David] Oooh, hey.

  • (heavy rock music)

  • - Based on how bad that fuel smells over there.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I think I'd pump that tank completely dry.

  • - Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

  • It's nasty.

  • - It's pretty green smellin'.

  • - Yeah.

  • (heavy rock music)

  • Well today wasn't a bad day.

  • - Nah, not at all.

  • Both carbs are rebuilt, completely.

  • - Cool.

  • - Fuel pump tested, works, but the gas is real bad

  • so we'll pump out as much as we can

  • and get fresh gas in it.

  • - Excellent.

  • Well I got this front end stripped apart.

  • I learned a small lesson with how they do

  • spindles in Britain so we got that figured out.

  • - Yeah.

  • - In part.

  • That side's springs are in,

  • both sides, shocks are in both sides,

  • that side's greased, reassembled.

  • This side'll be greased and reassembled tomorrow.

  • - Excellent.

  • And I'll get these squared up and put back on.

  • Tomorrow mornin'.

  • And then we'll start tackling the spark issue.

  • - Alright and I'll get after the rear.

  • - Perfect.

  • (heavy rock music)

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • - [Jocelyn] I would say, going to car shows, the MGB

  • has won at least 20 or 30 trophies or plaques.

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • - This bearing race is shot.

  • With that groove, it should be smooth and nice

  • all the way around, and the surface on this one

  • is hosed, you can see it.

  • The witness was, is all the metal flakes

  • as I'm wiping off the bearing, trying to clean it up

  • and getting all these metal shavings.

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • (ratcheting)

  • (bluesy rock and garage ambience)

  • - I don't know about you, David,

  • but I got these carbs mounted up,

  • linked, I gotta cut me some fuel hose.

  • And I'm about ready to put gas in the tank.

  • - Sounds like you still got work to do.

  • Front suspension's done.

  • - How's the rear lookin'?

  • - We gotta get after that.

  • - Oh, right.

  • Well while you're doing that I'll put fuel in it

  • and I'll check out the electronics before we try to fire it.

  • - Whenever we raise up that back end for the springs,

  • it'll be easier for you to put fuel in.

  • - It should be, yeah.

  • Again you're in my way.

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • (ignition firing)

  • (engine roaring)

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • - So we got everything wrapped up

  • on our list of things to repair.

  • We did find that we had some...

  • Spark issues.

  • So we went through and cleaned up

  • a couple of items on the ignition side.

  • Fresh set of points.

  • Pulled the electronics out of it.

  • Good fresh carburetors, fresh ignition.

  • This should fire up and be able to drive.

  • - And then we can start tuning the carbs and

  • get it hummin'.

  • (engine roaring)

  • (engine revving)

  • (engine rumbling)

  • - Well, it seems to be pretty tuned up

  • sitting here in the garage.

  • I'm happy with it. - It doesn't sound bad.

  • - [Matt] Yeah.

  • - Got a little exhaust leak in it

  • but we're not gonna worry about that right now.

  • - Get it on the road.

  • Get that hair blowin'.

  • - I think that's the next step,

  • is to get it out on the road and see if it

  • runs just as well when it's driving

  • as it does sittin' here in the garage.

  • - Let's get these off and let's do it.

  • - [Matt] Alright.

  • (engine roaring)

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • - Well Dave it seems to sound pretty good.

  • - Yes it definitely does, it sounds a lot stronger,

  • it moves a lot quicker and,

  • it's straight.

  • - Excellent.

  • Good deal.

  • - It looks good, I can't believe

  • it's like nearly 50 years old.

  • It looks really good.

  • - Well it's ready for your next show.

  • - Right, yes.

  • - Ready and registered for it.

  • - Right.

  • Ready to roll.

  • - I think today you need to take it for a spin.

  • - There we go!

  • Definitely, you need to take it for a spin--

  • - Come on over here, Jocelyn.

  • (bluesy rock and engine roaring)

  • - Alright Davin, you know what?

  • That little MGB, she's looking nice and level,

  • ready for the shows, eh?

  • - And drives nice and smooth.

  • - It does.

  • - You did fantastic job on the carburetors.

  • - Thank you sir, the suspension's not bad.

  • - And Dave and Jocelyn are gonna love getting home.

  • - They seem very excited to have

  • their baby back on the road.

  • - Yes, for sure.

  • Hey. - Great job.

  • - Nice job.

  • - On to the next?

  • - Yes.

  • - Alright.

  • (bluesy rock music)

  • (country rock music)

- Those are some smells.
