THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL REPLY

<<My 2p.

Strip it clean, all under coating, all interior, all electrical and....

1). Weld a cage in it.
2). Lower it.
3). Install a 1" anti roll bar.
4). Build a 7500 rpm 1725cc engine putting out 150 bhp.
5). Rebuild the gear box.
6). Install all necessary safety stuff.

7). GO HAVE FUN KICKING MGB AND TRIUMPH BUTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>
