so my dad has wanted to build an MGB GT project for a while now. he's had this car sitting & waiting for as long as I can remember. this year he decided it was time.
car was freshly painted after all the welding and fab work was done.
this is the new heart. local engine builders "forest & forest" built this thing. if you know anything about them, you know the insane quality they put in their builds. note the billet aluminum brackets - this car is sparing no luxury, including a modern air conditioning system
world-class T5 tranny to handle the power.
soon to be together.
still needs the bumpers. showing off the old-school solid red tails.
the master-mind and his assistant.
he decided to go with 15s for this one. i believe they're "compomotive" rims or something. i'll refrain from forming an opinion on them until i see the car at proper ride height.
the entire car was rewired. Lucas wiring is not known for its quality. more often known for setting fire, so it had to go.
wilwood stopping power.
custom gas tank. this tank holds twice as much fuel as the stock tank. perfect for a touring car.
i could be wrong, but i believe he's rocking QA1s all around for shocks and springs.
had a hard time getting good pics of the custom 4-link rear end.

install has been delayed:
the engine and tranny were supposed to go in tonight, however, the keen eye of Mark from Marken Performance (helping with the install) noticed some uneven wear on the input shaft and decided it wasn't worth risking installing until it was perfect. sourcing new tranny/input shaft.
