Description of 1979 MG MGB MGB

Emissions legal! Inspected, agged and passed emissions in Colorado.
This has been an ongoing project for several years. I swapped in the rx7 drive train and used a NA engine which runs like a top but is lacking the kick these have at lower elevations. Still better than the MG engine. I thought this car would qualify for classic tags, ut it doesn't. Anyway, 've lost interest, lean title, ut not currently insured or registered. The car is over 95% done but will need some very minor work to be finished.
Starts, dles and runs great - was being built to be daily drivable, ast on the road and handle very well. Has over sized sway bars front and rear, ube shock conversion in rear,
4 wheel disk brakes, imited slip 4:11 rear axle, speed manual trans, ew clutch,
pressurized struts for hood and trunk (HUGE improvement)Front suspension all rebuilt - urethane bushings throughoutStainless linesDual handle turning brakesRuns cool
Autometer gauges,12 speaker stereo w/ amps.
new tires, eather miata seats, ew stainless brake lines, ll new brakes, ll new suspension bushings, ew soft top, ut also has somewhat rare hard top, ew windshield, ew dashboard, ew carpet, years left on battery warrantee.
Still needs radio replaced (new CD stereo included). Paint is decent but has a few trouble spots. Fires right up and Runs great!Aluminum door panels included but not yet installed.Chrome trim was painted black which in my opinion looked much better, ut very chipped. I had a quote for $180 to have it all powder coated.There are 2 small dents in the body - and not sure why, ut the paint on the trunk sux - bubbled in spots. Also the hood right up front has some flaws.
