 Elf eating dog breeder Posts: 10531    Location: Guildford | Bought this a few months, put a bid on it on ebay and thought "i'll never win it for that" and walked away... Got an email while I was at work a few days later, youve won an MGB GT, sayyyy whaaattt??? Its a poo brown, 1980 (rubber bumper, with no bumpers... lol) MGB GT, latest of the late. Paid fook all for it and its actually quite solid, it had been resprayed a few years back and isnt too bad but I hate the solid poo brown colour, so have decided to cream cracker it. It runs like a beast, and has a stainless tubular manifold and single box exhaust (which exceeds the value of what I paid for it lolz)     A little photoshop to show the rideheight I want, alas, wirewheels probably wont happen (cause frankly I CBA, and prefer minilites)  removed this lot so far -  leaving me with this -  got bored and started painting -   | ||

Elf eating dog breeder Posts: 10531 Location: Guildford | MG mad - 13/11/2011 7:17 PM Great 70s colour that. Front spoiler on the 'C is a Special Tuning one, can get reproductions in fibreglass from the likes of Moss no problem. K series MGB Fred? Dont tempt me! (ive just bought a TVR 4.0ltr engine, ported and polished (stage 2 bs) high lift cam with an SD1 vitesse box, lightened fly and 6puk clutch but got it so cheap I may consider selling it at a profit and going light and revvy...) Did some more painting, pass side is almost all done, just got to sort the rust lower down and then prep it and its happy days.  p.s. dont take the piss and say it looks flat, its satin paint, this respray owes me £40, the car owes me the square root of fook all so would be pointless getting it pro sprayed, montana rattle cans ftw!

Elf eating dog breeder Posts: 10531 Location: Guildford | Did a bit more work, redid the top of the pass wing as I wanted to remove a random hole it had in it, same as on teh drivers side, can only presume for wing mounted mirrors (but too far back for wing mounted mirrors :|) hole on drivers side -  welded up pass side -  skim o' filler -  sanded and painted -  got the front brake lines made up and fitted, just got to rip the old rear lines out and fit the new ones then bleed it! might have to buy 2x arch repair panels, cause theyre worse than I thought... | ||
