Hey everyone,
The LBC itch has been acting up again and I realized that my other "toy"
car just isn't going to scratch it. This probably has more than a little
to do with the update on my old Sprite I received recently. (Keep it up
Ed!) I would get another Spridget, but I have grown a little big for a Sprite.
Well I guess timing is everything and I found a 1967 MGB project car really
cheap, and after a lot of selling to my wife, I am going to try to look at
it next week. It is one of those ran-when-parked two years ago, started
but never finished project cars (I guess like my Sprite was when I sold
it). She says the only way I can buy another car is if I finance it 100%
by selling stuff. I'm cleaning the garage today and tomorrow to first make
room, and second look for extra parts to sell on eBay if I do decide to get
the car.
What I need to know is what are the things to look for in a B? I think I
heard if the rockers are bad, stay away, anything else like this? Any
other hints. Is a 67 MGB positive ground like my Sprite was? I was
going to download a Moss MGB catalog for reference, but it looks like they
don't do that anymore.
Below is a link to the pictures I was sent of the car, it needs a whole
bunch of work, but I still have my non-LBC toy for playing, and I want
another project car, one I will finish. I know better than to buy a car
needing work, but.....
Here is the link to the MGB

One more question, if you don't have access to anything to tow with, what
is the best way to move a car? Do towing companies offer deals on non
emergency stuff when time is not as important? Any other ideas?
By the way, if anyone had my old page (http://members.xoom.com/spridget) in
their favorites or on their website, I had to move it to a new home, that
link is below.
Thanks In Advance,
Patton
