Description of 1972 MG MGB Roadster |
Thanks for taking a look at my restored 1972 MGB Roadster V6. I personally completed the restoration over 2 years and am intimately familiar with all details of the project. The car has been driven 1,160 miles since I completed the restoration several year ago. Garage queen.The buyer will receive all project receipts and photos of the restoration process. I’m including some extra parts and several MGB manuals and books. Here are the details. Thanks for taking a look at my auction. Camaro 3.4L V6 ‘L32’ engine built by Engine Lab of Tampa Replaced all wiring with new Moss Motors wiring harness New gas tank, sender, fuel pump, and all fuel lines V6 conversion kit from Classic Conversions (Bill Guzman) V6 fuel injection wiring harness conversion by BMC Auto Borg & Warner T5 five speed transmission (freshly shimmed and serviced by Gearworks of Tampa.) Sound dampening material throughout Steel floor panels replaced with Heritage parts New carpet kit New vinyl interior kit (dash, door panels, back side panels, etc.) New brake master cylinder, metal lines, rubber hoses, pads, shoes, and drums (all stock) New wood steering wheel Converted to 1969 bumper kit (originally a 1972 chrome bumper car) New headlights and chrome surround rings (original tail lights, reverse lights – new bulbs, all work) New ignition lock and keys Soft top and seat covers were in good shape when I bought the car so they have not been replaced Wheels had been painted before I bought the car, but I replaced the chrome trim rings Stereo delete panel Heater delete Deleted side marker lights New radiator New cooling fan with thermostat power control New battery New tires New VDO Speedo and tachometer. Temp, oil pressure, and gas gauge are original Smiths gauges Replaced rear suspension, new springs, polyurethane bushings, new shocks, shackles, etc. Front suspension rebuilt with new drop links, polyurethane bushings, ball joints. Have new front shocks (not installed) that will come with the car Plastic panels to hide components under dash (not installed) come with car Notes: Gas gauge has power but stopped working recently Courtesy light in console is new but is not working Temp gauge works but is calibrated for new engine temperature so needs modification Rubber gasket around the windshield needs to be replaced. Rear end has original gear ratio. Lots of torque in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd but it revs high over 75 mph so it’s most fun around town rather than extended highway cruising – unless you change the rear gears.
