i looove MGB GT's i almost bought one but it had also sat for a while and i didnt know if i could afford to insure/run it? but it may be a future buy in afew years looks really nice good luck

[MadMalx]

Looks a good project this, most of the parts are like a Mini, price-wise - I've got a 75 rubber bumper one and I've just poly-bushed the suspension and fitted uprated shocks - apparently they're standard shocks with thicker oil to firm them up a bit Good luck with it!

[panelbeaterpeter]

Yeah so far, parts availability and prices are great! Not sure on the insurance front yet.. will figure that out later! I'll be able to get classic cover, and it's tax exempt, so it all helps!

[panelbeaterpeter]

Okay got a bit done yesterday! Got it inside, which makes working on it alot easier, I fitted a new clutch slave cylinder, pipes and hoses, fitted new brakes all round and drove her for the first time! it was rather exciting






And this was the first time I drove it.. I didn't mean to spin the wheels

Are you going to mask up the spark plugs as wel!!!

Coming on nicely!!

MGOC do some good deals on insurance and you don't need to be a member.

[panelbeaterpeter]

Haha elephants never forget. Nor evidently, does shiftyseamus. Yes that might be on the agenda..

Ah cheers for that! I'll have a look when it comes to it.

We've had a few MGBs over the years, but the one that stood out from the rest was our Damask Red MGBGT V8 - the sound of the engine was amazing - burble burble

You couldn't sneak up on anybody with that - I absolutely loved driving it and it made me smile every time I got in it - good times

[panelbeaterpeter]

Wow I wouldn't mind the v8 version.. yeah I like it!

[Rosslin Racing]

I had one of these, my very first good car 900 quid from Simon Bender in tun Wells some 20 odd years ago.
they are slow, heavy, and its all abit tight in there with the girlfriend, anyways they look good and with a tuned V8 go good!
yours looks great Pete, dont forget the wiring is also from Lucas so get a fire eater
