MGBs keep me young (at heart), I have five now. Just found one for my daughter. She will pay for the parts and I get to restore it!

A press is a press, just a steel frame with a house jack hung from the top. You can't beat the import stuff on price, the materials to build one are cheap (just recycled steel from our old cars!), you can't even build one yourself for less. Check those cheezy mail order tool catalogs too, the cost on these things in bulk is probably less than $50-$75, the mail order guys can make a good profit and you can still justify paying the shipping.
