MGB: So what do you all think of this?

Good, bad, POS, whatever. 71 with OD

Looks great. Are you buying it? Selling it? What's the context of your question?

I like it and ya can double your pleasure when you open the roof :) :)

one needs to poke around under it with a sharp tool to really know, what i see looks good

the two tone looks odd to me

repair on right dogleg?
Buy it and drive it!

What do I think? I think I will take it, uhm, where is it? B)

Thanks folks..

They were the pictures in the for sale advert. It's actually a very solid car. Some superficial bodywork issues but nothing to get wound up about.

It's sitting on my drive now after 190 mile trip home. Engine isn't perfect but it came home at 65 - 70 mph.

I've no plans to much more than get it running properly and drive it.

someone moved the steering wheel, though. Gonna be a bother to move it back the the left side of the car.

Excellent! That's the way to do it. Just drive 'em! :D

I'll just drive on the wrong side of the road as normal :D

congrats! nice looking bgt...driving is the best

Looking not half bad. Small question - I see the oil lines but where's the oil cooler rad?

Looks great! And with OD! An excellent starting point, and it will take some pressure off the TA.

Congratulations!

I like your other one better. ;)

No oil cooler, Joe. If you are referring to the shiny lines, they are braided fuel lines, new by the looks of it.

Jim, that's just why I bought it. I'm getting past driving the TA in sub zero temeratures (getting soft in my old age) and needed a winter driver.

Steve, I like this but I luuuurrve the other one. :D

Owen,
Are you sure? Those two hoses coming through the radiator support driver's side should terminate in an oil cooler just behind the gront grille assy...

Not sure at all, Jon. In fact I haven't a clue would be more accurate. I didn't see an oil cooler when I was looking at the car and to be honest I didn't even notice those two pipes.

I'm off to work now but will be under the bonnet tonight so I'll have a closer look

Oil cooler probably hidden by the slam panel, or the oil lines are connected together?

There appears to be a cooler there, but it isn't where it's supposed to be.

Well, surprise surprise. I didn't notice that cooler when I was inspecting the car.

It's under the slam panel on the right hand side.

Just had the plugs out for a check and it's fouling No.2 plug. Further investigation required sometime.
