A few things need sorting but I will get this done during winter.
Its only done 44k miles and its on a new shell so just needs a
tidy up here and there and the removal of that dreadful rear foglight.
Sounds pretty tasty though.

Yes, you need to remove the dreadful fog light and replace it with a second exhaust pipe. smile

I absolutely adore these cars, go to quite a few classic shows in Yorkshire with my Grandfather who owns a Ford Zephyr and if i had my own Garage / Space i would defnately purchase a MGB, looks amazing.

Nice motor Stephen...just got my third MGBV8 so I can guess how your'e feeling about it.
Note of caution though...be careful with the wire wheels and engine upgrades. My last two
V8's had sufficient torque to "flex" the wheels and constantly ruin the balancing. I only
run Minilite replicas now..

cheers

Looks great - the MGB that BL should have always made!! Did you do the conversion yourself or was it like that when you bought it? Normal 3.5 or anything more tasty. I know of one with a TVR version of the Rover V8 in it - think its a 4.5 if I remember well. Serious piece of kit!
Enjoy!
