Woah, Mike!
There are some of us out here that ain't afraid of no frozen engine. Someone
may even have a good engine suitable for the cause. I myself am currently
rebuilding an engine that was frozen up, had to beat the pistons out with a
large wooden drift and a very heavy hammer.
>From your description the car sounds restorable. What say Mike? Before you
start parting out that MGBGT, what do you want for the whole thing as is?
