I just acquired a1978 MGB that's in what I would call exceptional condition even though it needs a little TLC...This is a true barn find as I have not even heard it run. Loaded on the car hauler today and got it home. My background as a car enthusiast goes back several years (decades) as my wife and I are both retired. I am a former foreign car mechanic and auto machinist. I'm really looking forward to getting this little car going. As soon as I can figure how, I'll post a couple of pictures

Thanks for that info...first thing I have to do is get the clutch unstuck...it's been in the barn so long, the clutch disc is stuck to the flywheel.
The battery is on a charger right now, and I'm going to spend a little time cleaning to evaluate what I've gotten myself into (lol)...I'm really looking forward to getting it going.

Really nice example, Rigg! Be sure to start posting also in our MG forum and ask any specific questions there. (Glad you figure out how to post a picture! )
