2. RE: rebuild or part out? (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 10:10:05 -0700 (MST); I agree with Dan - trying to restore and come out ahead is typically a losing battle. Look for a better example. I did keep track of my receipts on my '67 MGB - which I bought in 1995 or so. Includin; /html/mgs/2006-03/msg00113.html (11,283 bytes)

I have an A with a B motor (i.e. 1800) and I have a chrome bumper B with overdrive. I enjoy driving the A more, and with the B motor, it feels faster (whether it really is or not).; /html/mgs/2006-02/msg00034.html (7,153 bytes)

That said, I'd take it on myself (and I have.

Re: spring fever approaches - now lotus (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 14:00:20 -0700 (MST); I don't remember how much it was, but I was that the new Lotus Elise and Exige are an extra charge to not have air conditioning (i.e. for lightness).

The best thing you can do is have the flap that goes in front of the windsheld frame be a really snug seal. At this point I'm considering putting on an aftermarket lock; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00015.html (7,718 bytes)

Most MGB's run compression from 145 to 160. I'm surprised to see 175 on any of them - but it's not outside of what a high compression MG en; /html/mgs/2005-09/msg00222.html (7,072 bytes)
