Parting out 1970 MGB GT

Hello All,

I am parting out a 1970 MGB GT. The body has almost no rust with the exception of the floor pans and wire wheels (really). Doors, rear hatch, fenders, roof, pillars, front fenders all great condition. I have all the glass, (2) transmissions (neither with OD), (2) engine blocks, (1) complete head, lots of engine parts already removed for sale, (2) HS4s that need rebuilding, the manifold, etc. I have the gauges which all work. The car is complete with the motor and transmission out. I have the chrome split bumpers for the rear and the chrome bumper for the front. Neither of them are bent but need polishing and possible rechroming. Let me know what you want. I will be very fair on pricing. I can send pics of parts as requested.

I have some new in the box parts as well.

These include: semi-loaded brake calipers, springs, bump stops, brake pads, suspension bushings (not poly), professionally reworked radiator, steering rack boot covers, some type of metal sleeves or bearings.

I will sell the car and the whole lot of parts for $1000 at one time if interested, or sell it piece by piece.

I am in Atlanta, GA.

Thanks,
John

John,

You have a PM. Thanks.

Brad

Also sent you a PM.

Here is the picture of the "B" emblem from the rear hatch. Less than perfect condition. On a scale of 1-10 I rate it 5 out of 10.

Thanks,

John

I like the front end of your roadster. Very cool. -Larry

What kind of shape/color are the c-post covers, and interior panels in general?
Thanks, Tommy

John,

Interior is not in any condition to sell. Other than the seat frames and rear seat bottom all else is either torn or cracked somewhere. The map pocket could be re carpeted and used and the instrumentation in the dash is in good shape but other than that not too much is usable. Sorry

John

John - I sent you a PM on the emblem - did you receive it?

I got it just a bit ago. I have a paypal account but I have never used it outside of ebay. I will look into the process. I am sure we can go that route. I need your address to send the part as well.

Thanks.
John

John...PayPal is wasy to use to collect funds from sales. I use it with Pieces of Eight!.

You will get hit with about a 3-1/2% processing fee.

BTW....you have a PM.

John - if you email or PM me your snail address, I'll get $ headed your way for the B letter. thanks, Chuck

John how is the steering column? I could use if it seems okay?
Thanks Ken

Here is a picture of the back seat hardware. Pictured is 1 of the hinges. There are 3 hinges total in the car but I only pulled one for the picture. They are all alike. There are 2 latches for holding the seat in the back position and there are 2 lock bars that hold the seat upright. The 2 latches mount to a piece that is welded on the top of wheel well. I was thinking $15 for all pieces plus shipping. They are dirty in the picture but the clean up very nicely as I spot tested one of the pieces.

Thanks
John

Does the speedo have the trip odometer reset cable? Is it intact? Mine is damaged in the "bracket" or end where it plugs into the speedo. It should "snap" in, but one of the plastic prongs is broke so it just falls out.

Thanks

PM sent. Thanks.

I also have the plastic shroud that covers the lower portion it will be included.

If interested I have the top cover in good condition with no cracks as well that goes around the turn signal, ignition switch and wiper switch. $10 for the top cover.

Hi John - i sent a PM about some of those parts i would like to buy, do you get a chance to read it? - if not email me at nljmartin@hotmail.com - so we can do a deal... :-)

thanks

Hello all

Thank you to all of you who have purchased parts from the mgb gt. I had an issue on my wife's side of the family and I did not get a chance to ship off items until today. I am terribly sorry for the delay of a few days but items are on the way! I am sorry if I have not been quick to respond to any PM messages too. I will be checking and replying soon.

Thanks for understanding.

John

Hi John - I take it you received the $$ in the mail for the B letter?

Hi John, PM sent about a few parts I am interested in buying.
Thanks,
Jeff

John,

I'm missing the brake line retainer for the rear brake line as it goes past the clutch area. Its a looped piece of sheet metal which is held in place by two clips. Let me know please as my B's up and going but need to secure the line.

Many thanks

Mark

Anyone heard from John? I bought some parts several days ago but haven't got parts or any communication. Hope he's okay.

Anyone?

PM sent John

Thanks, Grasshopper for the post - I still haven't heard anything back from John. How about you?

Anyone heard from this fellow or gotten parts? thanks, C

I'm still waiting too. In your other post about him, another forum member said there was a phone number listed for him, maybe you can give that a call and leave a message. If he hasn't replied in about a week or so, it sounds like something bad may have happened and he needs to focus his time and attention to that matter. I see he's been a forum member for a while so its not like he's a fly buy night sort of guy trying to get a couple of hundred bucks out of this forum and move on to another...but that's just my opinion.

Brad

Thanks, Brad, Joe - I think you're probably right, sounded like a legitimate fellow, hope all is well with him. I did try and call the number; it said 'not available for incoming calls'....

I would just like to say I received my radiator from John just a few moments ago, by I assume (it was just a white van that sped away and had no label indicating such) Fed Ex or perhaps DHL? It was in the described condition and picture and it was packed extremely well. As I mentioned, it looks like he had other more important things to attend to, since it said it was shipped on the 15th. I am satisfied, and I hope everyone gets their things soon and are satisfied as well. If this was ebay I would have already made contact with Paypal, but this is our forum, so I wasn't too concerned. I will also post this to the other thread.

Brad

Thanks, Brad. Maybe he's out of town.

Bump.

Anyone heard anything yet from John other than Brad?

If the right front fender is still available, please send a price including shipping to 46342. Thanks. Keith

I've PM'd and tried to find out what happened to John, but luck, no answer..... One fellow recently did receive a part that he paid for, but I paid for mine quite some time ago and have received nothing, no response either.

The fellow that did receive the part indicated the return address was from an independent mailer company, so I am unsure how to find the seller by conventional means.

I will probably be down around his area in the very near future and will plan to see if I can locate him. Can't be too hard to find driving a nice car like that! Hope he's ok and not in a car accident or something.

JOHN - IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, DROP US A LINE! :spinning:

I got the bumper brackets I bought from john on Friday, 12/18.


-Lance

Hey, thanks, Lance....I hope my parts show up soon, as well, but nothing yet. I'd feel bgetter if I at least got a response, but maybe his computer is down ???.... (:> He sure has a nice looking black MG!

ANYONE ELSE get anything from this fellow, or know how to get in touch with him?

On 12/03, I sent $$, no response whatsoever since, tried several times online, no response.

Via public google domain, I found some contact info: Tried calling both his phone #s: one 678-289-6884 says disconnected, the other 1.770.474.4541 says not available for incoming calls

Chuck I pm'd several weeks ago about parts and never heard back either. Maybe out of town for the holidays? Hope everything is ok.

Please call me @ 281 520 0613. I am available to come this week and close the deal.

I will be in western North Carolina on business this week & can come to Atlanta to view your collection.

Bill - please let us know if you hear from this fellow.

ARE ANY OF THESE STILL FOR SALE & ARE YOU GOING TO PART OUT THE TRANSMISSIONS ??

John, I would be interested in the HS4s that need rebuilding, the manifold, etc, also the seat hardware you spoke of, thanks dave

I paid $$ on 12/03 for parts, no response and no parts yet......anyone heard anything back from this fellow?

Nope. Seemed normal enough as of 12/03. Was going to get some pictures of the shell, which I was interested in. Admitted it was very difficult moving the thing around with no steering, which had been removed. Never heard back after that. Most curious. Seemed serious about getting rid of the whole thing, one way or another, then poof.
