That looks fantastic, I know how much work goes into any vehicle restoration and this looks like a top job! Well done and enjoy it, get some miles under her belt and sort out any teething problems, but most of all enjoy all of your hard work!!

Like the pipework, very impressive.
Here's mine. Has the increasingly rare auto box fitted to it. Actually fancy a GT as well. Mmmmm.
Very nice Podge. Did you do the work yourself?

Nice one there.I bought her 7 years ago,the previous owner had painted her but got all the gaps wrong,so I took her all apart again.Rebuilt everything,suspension,wiring,brakes et all,changed the box to an o/d one ,replaced all the glass 9e-bay new old stock!),its all Sundym too!Finished it off by retrimming the whole lot,headlining included.I managed to buy some leather hides so it smells nice inside too.All the chrome is from original cars,that way it all fits.I too fitted a Kenlowe along with a thermostat for that,123 ignition.Don't ask how much its cost over the years!This stays with us forever........the last time it was on the road for real was 1994.
I have allways liked working on MGBs,you can fix everything and they are so well enginered.
My lad in the USA is on his second roadster now,we reckon because he used to sit behind me in our first one in the 70s,it must have got in his blood!!
