So last summer i sell my honda, then in November i decide to sell off all my parts, i'm done. Between turning 30, living in an area dominated by squid/ghetto ricers, and the bad association....i figured i'd find something new.

I found a 1968 mgb, it was restored 8 years ago (frame off..yada,yada) then sat in a field for the last 5 years. I talk to the guy, make arrangements to go get it, and go yesterday to pick it up. Wouldn't ya know, i get hosed by the old guy, he decided after hearing me talk about it he wants to get it back on the road. Figures!

Well.....i am headed home and get to thinking...one thing lead to another and VOILA! I now have SLICK.....once a hopeless 98 DX, picked over, orphan....now my PRIZE!! (figures i just sold off my ctr parts...dammitt)







I will keep the thread updated as i rebuild it back to where it should be.

 

TLC good luck i'm sure it will turn out nice if you stick with it

 

More power to you! good luck!

 

What are your goals and such for the build? Do you have anything like, actually set in stone planned?

 

looks like a fun project
looks like you dont have any major body work to deal with just the replacement of panels and bumpers

 

good luck!

 

looks like you have alot of work to do! have fun!

 

I wanted something to beat on. I figure a 00' front end, some fresh VSM and a little suspension tweakage. I have a LS block and a GSR head sitting here. I also have various other parts, so it shouldn't cost much to throw together an ls/vtec/turbo...with a/c. The hatch already had 00' Si doors, dash and seats, and a 3" mandrel bent exhaust.

Best part is...it was 300$

It gets moved to the garage today.....tear down will begin.

Any thoughts - Stay with VSM or go Taffetta white?

 

wheels look ok looking.....and is that ctr carpet pads?
