I just did a dumb thing......I added up all my receipts for purchase of
69 MGB, parts, paint, etc.....$9172!!!!!! To me this is a fantastic
example of 'ignorance is bliss'!!!! Wish I didn't know now what I
didn't know then.......And I'm not done yet!!!!! I STILL don't have my
dash back. The guy 'promised' me that he would have it here to me by
last Friday. Yeah, right! I sent him an e-mail Friday and asked him
when he was going to ship and I still haven't heard back from him. I
really would like to drive this beauty real soon.... I'm going to have
to sit in my car and have someone push me around the block pretty soon
if I don't get the dash back. And I guarantee...I'll have the biggest
smile you've ever seen. Wonder how much the SO will be smiling as he's
pushing???? (he did say he'd do anything for me!!! ;~)
This fall I plan on rebuilding engine and gearbox....
Does anyone out there have any idea what parts for rebuild on engine and
gearbox are...approx???? I want to replace the head with no-lead
conversion. Is there anything I have to send out to have done
(machined???) when I do that? If so, what is the typical cost for
that? Now that I'm over the initial shock...I think I can handle this
information.
Anyway guys and gals....thanks for your help and support. This list is
the 'BESTEST'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
