Mgb-k
 

Sooo, to bore you all with the wee project that's taken up a lot of my time over the last few years here's a quick round up.

Had an MGB laying about gathering dust, destined for a restoration project...but...after having so much fun with the track BRM we decided to take a different approach. The V8 was ditched in favour of a k-series, the Sebring kit was eventually ditched because it didn't fit, we found an old hard top down the back of someone's garden....

Que the music....

That looks sweet!
Plenty of hard work gone into it I'm sure!

How do the ITB's sound?

Thanks :)

The ITB's sound awesome, in fact the whole thing sounds mean! It was only this Sunday gone that I managed to get her idling on her own by tinkering with the emerald, she needed a lot more fuel! Some flames have been popped when revved :D

I like it, it's got some attitude.

Is that a Lenham hard top or some other make.

Cheers, changing the look of the normal MGB was a priority as it's a bit bland in standard trim (yes, I said it :alcoholic: ).

I think the hard top is an Ashley, but we're not entirely sure. It was buried in a chaps garden covered in weeds and had been for around 15 years, so it's come up really well.

The ex-touring car spoiler mixes things up a bit too.

Awesome:) enjoyed reading the whole build on the other forum...Sooo much attention to detail with everything!

Ah yeah, Ashley used to do a similar top for Midgets.

I'm glad you said the mgb was bland, you'll be hunted down for that, lol

Thanks Ritchy. I'll try and get a vid of the engine running when I'm next at the unit, although saying that it's booked for the rolling road on the 16th so fingers crossed it'll put out a few horsies and I can get a vid then.

Hang, drawn and quartered I'd imagine :smart:

Yeah, after looking at Ashley's it's most similar to them but still not 100% sure what it is.

Awesome, not keen on the plastic covers over the headlamps but otherwise fantastic!
