Work done in January 2013:
Carburetors rebuilt by Doug Jackson of British Automotive
Front hub seals
Engine breather hose
Air filters
Wheel cylinder, rear drum replaced
Brake shoe set
Kit brake shoe springs
Front brake discs replaced
Fuel filter replaced
1/4 inch braided fuel line
Air cleaner bolt sleeves
Fuel pump rebuilt
Fuel tank flushed
I have work orders since my ownership of the car.
Other repairs that have been done since 1994 when the vehicle came into my possession.,,
Full body work and paint job (body is in great shape)
New bushings installed (did that in autoshop with the help of the teacher)
New suspension installed (did that in autoshop with the help of the teacher)
Steering Rack Boot Replacement and front calipers overhaul
Replaced Master Cylinder
Exhaust system replaced
Hood pull replaced
Charging system repaired
Thermostat replaced
Alternator replaced
Starter and solinoid replaced
Clutch cover replaced
Clutch disc replaced
T/O Bearings
Flywheel resurfaced
Transmission replaced with rebuilt transmission
Automatic fan installed in front of radiator, goes on automatically when engine reaches certain temperature
Car is missing radio antenna (some jerk broke it off), blinkers work but don't click into position, and there is a small tear in the driver's seat upholstery (where seatbelt pulls overs) and a similar tear on the passenger side seat in the same location. Seatbelt button case missing from passenger side. The ceiling light is missing as well as its protective plate. Interior is in good condition but not new. CD player/radio installed in glove compartment to preserve original radio. Speakers lie on the floor behind the seats to preserve doors. Happy to send you more pics of the interior and undercarriage of the car so you can check for rust (which I don't believe it has, except on the exhaust area).
This was my first car, and I love it dearly. I drove it all through high school and college. I've stored it in carports away from the sun this entire time. I want it to go to someone who will truly love it and finish the restoration that 17 years later I still cannot afford to complete.
If interested, call me. Serious buyers only please!

If you have any difficulty with the process, please contact the webmaster.
think Nicole has described it very fairly and is something you can enjoy immediately while
tidying it up over time (from my perspective mainly cosmetic or superficial things).
Definitely take a look at this car as I hope that it won't be on the market long.
email of more photos of the engine comp,interior,rear front/wheel
wells,and basic underside rust trouble spots.It truley is a beauty and
would love to have it if the sheetmetal is as good as the photos.Don't
care if the drive train is any good.Best Regards Brent B at
bigham@gmail.com
please send me all you have. Thanks BB
Thank-you!
a favor and check out the build of Dan Master's 74GT done by Fast Cars
inc and get back to me on how you take a running or not mg 4cyl and work
it in a machine shop into Dan's 302 and drive train build.
being very cautious and trying to research the best way to go about a sale like this.
Thank you
Tony Flamino
