Both absolutely stunning. Have you kept the interior standard? Thinking of my "Sport seats in an MGB" thread biggrin

Do you know who stocks the mesh grill? A friend is looking for one for his V8, the MGOC and Moss don't seem to stock them anymore.

driving must be a hoot.smile

68sebring, hi again yer expect we are both bit bias lol! few questions, do you have discs on the rear! and anyphotos of the front rear quick jack points used by works cars.

Some people don't like the MG's being put into sebring form but all as I can say is it keeps cars alive and enjoyed. Just wish I was retired enough to use mine more.

Look great !!

What kind of work did you do to it? any changes to suspension as rubber bumper one usually ride high.

Pretty tempted to do that.

hi

with my mgb i had to put some spacers on to let the wheels fill the arches but it is still too high. on the front i put some lowering/harder springs but my plan is to get the rear lowered.

so the car is standard mgb just put Sebring kit on and put a mgbc fiberglass bonnet and a full race exhaust so it sounds nice too.

would love to put disc alround, lowered, big V8, roll cage and place the fuel filler on the side like the origanials, but at the end of the day its still a rubber bumpered 1980s mgb gt.

Are your wheels slightly gunmetal?
