MGB-GT 73 MGB GT

Could some one direct me to some pics and info on these pls.

Bugeyes I know, these are at this point new to me.

Thinking of one for granddaughters use locally, she graduates from HS in a couple and will continue schooling and part time work locally. Big trip would be 15 miles, school will be like 3 miles. Niceville is not a big place and there are other vehicles for her to use out of town.

That's a nice looking MG. This just may work Tony. I did not get any flack from her father or grandmother so....... Course she has to graduate first hehe. Would think I would tow it down from your place on it's wheels. That's a long trip for a vehicle that has set up for a long time.

It looks to me that it is a type she she would be pleased to be seen in. Some one loves that one, heck it looks new.

Had to help wife move, kinda hurt back again but not too bad. Best take it easy today.

Tony, what kind of money does your MACO charge to put a bit of bondo and a paint job on one of those?

Interior looks kind of nice really, and engine room as well. Mostly dirt, good clean up job for an 18 year old.

 

[tony barnhill]

I'm guessing you can get it done at MAACO for well less than $1,000.....& I've not cleaned it up or done anything to it since I got it.

I have a 73 GT and love it. Have done work to it but with a good stereo and speakers she will love it. Room for books and one other person, will keep her out of trouble.

Tony, did you get the picture of your 74.5 with the LE spoiler yet?
And Angus... My Daughter is patiently awaiting me finnishing my GT.
If she doesn't get to drive it though, she wants me to buy this car she sat in at the Auto Show today. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
