Well the judges liked it, but their specialty wasn't cars so they thought it was great. But ya I got an A.

For my very first time doing anything close to this, I thought I did an acceptable job. It's a nice driver.

David your drive and sheer energy just floors me dude! :)-D Awesome!! Hey do you know if those are Alfa Romeo "Turbina" mags on that car, sure look like em. Alfa's have a 4-bolt Ford lug pattern, not sure if MGB's do.

I do know they are for an alfa, at least one of my co workers says so. Also they do say "made in Italy" on them. So I would assume so.

Yo David those wheels are VALUEABLE!!! Factory option mags for all USA Alfas from '74 to late 80's, REAL magnesium alloy made by both Campagnolo and Cromodora. They're very soft, take good care of 'em!

aww if this was 1994 instead of 2012 I'd be talkin to you from my Alfa shop I had :(

But get in touch with these 2 places ... DiFatta Bros. Alfa Romeo parts in Baltimore, and International Auto Parts in Charlottesville, Va. Also, member Basil Adams has a Alfa Montreal V8 that has those rims; he might be up on this. I stupidly sold those rims off my Montreal and got Centerlines, then the Campy rims started shooting up in $$ - my bad :X

If I got into that position under the steering wheel it would take six guys three days to get me out! Superb job on the car - congrats!!

Nice tie!

Wish my nephew had a tenth of your drive and talent.

Your uncle has way too many MGs.
