1972 MGB GT Project

Description:

1972 MG B GT for someone to restore. Bought an almost new shell for it about 15 years ago and sent it away to be resprayed in my favourite colour (Antigua blue). I then found a professional restorer who was going to do all the work for me (as I’m a joiner not a mechanic). I wanted him to put a V8 3.5 litre Rover engine in it which is a perfect fit. Unfortunately he was so busy doing other jobs he never got round to starting it, and I got fed up of waiting so I brought it back home to my garden and it’s been there ever since. It’s sat on an old caravan chassis and has ALWAYS had a cover on. Unfortunately some water did get in at some point and stuck the cover to the paintwork, hence looks a bit patchy now. Most of the bits are there except the engine. This was the last year of the chrome bumper model. Originally it was E-Type Jag red. Don’t really know what I want for a swap – Jet ski, boys toy, don't know, WHY. I’m based between Leeds & Bradford. If there’s anything else you would like to know, just ask.
