Sounds like a great find. (not a bad car either...)

Subject: The time has come (fairly long)
To introduce myself, my wife and our baby.
Our baby being our 1965 MGB otherwise known as May-B.
IThroughout that period of ownership I read all the mail to this list and
read
the MG BBS daily, it was through the BBS that I met my wife Stefanie. She
had
owned a 1979 B for many years and loves the cars as much as I do. Also,
coming
from a family of race car drivers she enjoys messing with cars and doesn't
mind getting all oily and greasy! The only thing I can't persuade her to
play
with is the angle grinder - something about not liking the sparks flying!
:-)
Doubt that she'll ever play with a welder either but I'm hoping she will.
To cut a long story short, in March of 1999 I moved to the USA, in May of
1999
we were married, soon after that we bought our B (any guesses where we came
up
with the name?) :-).
The car was a steal, an abandoned project that had been sitting in a garage,
partly stripped, for 10 years. We paid $400 and got the car with most of the
panels to complete her (all genuine BL), a 4000 mile old engine, an all-sync
gearbox fitted and a large collection of boxes of parts! The only major
thing
missing is a carpet set. We got a complete set of brand new chrome trim, two
perfectly restored pull-handle doors with all the hardware, brand new top,
perfect seats, etc, etc.
Snip....
