Hi guys, I keep see everyone else put a timeline of there projects on here so I thought I would do the same. The pic above was the car which I seen when I bidded on ebay. I brought the car for £360 highest bidder. I got a bargain. The engine completely stripped down but the body is in excellent condition. It's a 1976 mgb gt rubber bumper in purple. I am currently serving in the army and was posted to Blackpool when I brought the car nov 11. Before I joined the army I was a panel beater, so to me bodywork is the easy part. I decided to rebuild the engine and get her moving as she was sat in the container for 3 years. Since oct 12 I have been posted to Germany. Upon doing research on the car and what you can to them I have decided I want to test myself. I know of loads of people putting zetec in them and putting front and rear seeing valances on. I know people find it hard to get the sebring wings to fit well, reason why they don't do it. I have decided to do te complete sebring with 2.0 duratec with jenvey throttle bodies. My sources tell me that I should get 212 bhp. I only know of one person that has currently completed the duratec conversion. Please watch this space. I ave done loads since moving to Germany so I will post lads of pics I have. Please enjoy and comment

Looking forward to how this pans out. What trouble do people have fitting the Sebring kit?
