Bret Duff of Poway, California, bought his ’78 MGB from someone who “didn’t have a clue about the ins and outs of British car ownership.’” Barely operational when the title was transferred, the MG’s gremlins are now gone. Bret redid the interior with a carpet kit, CD stereo, and wooden steering wheel, he lowered the suspension, and attended to minor under-bonnet issues. Next up is pulling the engine and trans for a rebuild and 4-speed OD or 5-speed swap to make the car more freeway-friendly. Bret says that 3-year-old co-pilot Julia “really enjoys all of the attention she gets when we drive around on a sunny day with the top down.” Follow the car’s progress at https://home.earthlink.net/~bretduff[/QUOTE]
 
LOL! Wow thats old! I'd almost forgotten about that. Never actually got around to rebuilding the motor (turned out it didn't need it) but I do have that OD trans and both my daughter Julia (now 8) and Jordan (4) still love the attention they get when to drive around in it.
