I am living in Boston for the next few months. I am getting married in June and hope to have my 1977 MGB fully restored (or atleast presentable) to drive around this summer. I am debating painting the car myself, but I really would like it to look nice.

Speakers

I am thinking the next addition to the system will be a nice reciever that will do CD/MP3 and my IPOD. Hopefully that will all be possible before the summer, but for now it works great with the factory radio.

I have run into my next problem, my fans do not run to cool the radiator. So, The car ran, bad starter solenoid, bad wiring to fuel pump and no fans. I still have a lot of work until I can drive it down the street. Spent Sunday afternoon rebuilding the carburetor and getting everything straight with the fuel system. Ran car shortly but it smoked horribly due to the...

I stripped (where rust was evident), sanded and primed the trunk of my B this weekend. I am hoping to paint the whole trunk black this week.
