The New B
Created on 2005-12-24 11:26:29
Ok, so my first car is an 1971 MGB GT. It's teal blue with an autumn leaf interior. Here's how I got it:
I saw it in a guy's garage near my house(under a bunch of yard tools, parts, and dust) and just had to check it out! It turn out it had been sitting for about 10 years and the guys wife really wanted him to sell it(great for me!). Thanks to her I got it for $500!
Me and me dad towed it home(it was almost all downhill) and got it running in about 15 minutes! It needs a driver's side floor, inner and outer rocker, sill, and a patch panel. Still, not too bad for $500 bucks.
Now, a couple months later, we have the rust almost completely cut out. Instead of patch panels I'm planning on installing a set of sebring fenders and quaters.
