    MGB Is it worth doing the Shock Conversion Kit or Rebuilding Exsisting shocks?

    I'm looking into the Shock Conversion kits or rebuilding a couple of pairs as I have lots of shocks laying around the shop. Which do you think would be more efficient? Is there a youtube video on rebuilding MG Shocks?

    MGB '71?? MGB on eBay - a bit odd??

    Found this on another forum - hope they don't mind posting it on this forum, too. Seems to be a little strange - my GT is from Feb '74 and has chrome bumpers. I don't remember ever seeing any older Bs with rubber bumpers? Hope none of the bidders to date are from this forum...

    If I were shopping for an MG

    I posed a ?? about bumper is another thread. But in general, if one were looking for an MGB what other features are desirable? Ex: Overdrive, or not? 4 Speed (is there a 5 speed?) Any other options or features that are considered preferred features?
