72' MGB Roadster Build.
Posted on: Saturday December 3, 2016
Purchased Summer 2016. Front end damaged both fenders and hood both doors.

spring 2011 Fuel system rebuilt from gas tank forward all new lines etc. Carbs rebuilt by Hap Waldrop from Acme speedshop installed and tuned at Quality coaches Mpls (maybe a little too lean came real rich from Hap). New lever shocks all around from Worldwide. Basically the only things left to replace are A frames (not too bad) and rear leaf springs are pretty rusty. Interior could stand some work but isn't horrible.

Shocks
Posted on: Monday September 27, 2010
9-27-2010 Mounted the rebuilt shocks from Worldwide, changed factory bolts in rears to 10mm x 1.50 grade 8 hexhead (much easier to remove in the future). Discovered my muffler is crap, order a Monza. Need to evaluate the straight pipe path- very close to gas tank?
