Just had to buy this, none runner as yet, and has been stood for a long while and does not start.

Not got it home yet, so don't know to much about it, but has always been a car I have wanted, and so I am sorting out a trailer.

First lookover seems OK, but will wait and see?

I knew you liked rust Phil but didn't realise you were a martyr to it

Are you restoring or rejuvenating? I fancy one with a k series and decent suspension. An mg lotus elan really I suppose :lol:

Yep, we want pics Phil!

MGB GT...is this an antidote to a GT-Four? Mine would be a Datsun 240Z.

Nice but I couldn't resist doing this to it
http://www.britishracecar.com/stormfield-mg-mgbgtv8.htm

Sebring replica with modern brakes, coilovers and a nice v8 (I would want something like an e92 m3 v8 is light and has more poke than a rover v8 or a Lexus 1uzzzzzvgcv8yumie on throttle bodies - pretty much anything but a rover v8 tbh as long as it is light)

More a baby cobra than a lotus élan.

Fantastic, but I think keeping it standard might be a tad cheaper :)

I'd like it if you stick a v8 in it :)

So Tracey lost the argument about what to do with the space vacated by Dans car then :D

Looks good from above, hopefully the underneath isn't rotten.

One of my friends at uni had a 'B' he'd restored (his Dad ran a classic car garage.) Great car for character, but I seem to remember brakes were about as good as pushbike brakes in the wet.

I had to fill the void with something Chris, Land Rover and Dan's Celica gone left to much space :)

Just got the engine running after 11 years of being stood :)

Fuel pump contacts were corroded along with the points, and a few wiring issues.

Oil flushed and replaced and 11 year old fuel removed and replaced and carbs cleaned and it started OK, very happy :)

Lots more to do on it though.
