Registry: 1974 MG MGB

Ken Thompson's 1974 MG MGB
|
“Chrome Bumper”
aluminum head; Crane electronic ignition; hi-torque starter; AUD 465 carbs; unrestored, only rust is 4 doglegs, needs front fender dent repaired and paint; needs front suspension rebuild; a plain car but runs good
Update: it has been undergoing a slow restoration, now has new floor pans on both sides, rockers are repaired, both rear quarters and wheel wells are repaired; engine will have Pertronix ignition and tourist trophy header and stainless steel exhaust; correct 4 speed overdrive for 1973-1974 with electronic lockout (which will be deleted!); new wiring harness, many new interior parts; American style luggage rack; tourist trophy wood steering wheel
It will have a '72 recessed grill--several people will disagree with that but I happen to like that grill the best of them all!
