[Bmcu] Suggestions for rolling restoration

[David Sandberg]

Very wise advice Duff. 

I have a friend that almost gave up on his two MGB restorations. Thanks to
this group he was able to almost complete them. He is now in need of someone
who has a passion for rebuilding and installing the engines. They have been
sitting at a "friend's" house for over 7 years waiting for him to get the
time to restore them. 

Anyone know a good machine shop and/or mechanic? 

Sincerely, 

David Sandberg

I hate to be a party pooper... but...   Which is more important, grades or
the
car?  In the $2.5-3 range, he will spend equal time working on it as driving
it!  Get a Subaru or a VW, graduate, get a garage... then play with an old
car.  If he gets burned out and pi**ed off to early he may never come back
to
the faith!  As always IMO, FWIW.  GGDuff

  My son has $2500 to $3000 to spend on a car for college.  He would like to
  get something that he can do a "rolling restoration" on.  I suggested MG
or
  Triumph but I know very little about them.  I have a Sunbeam Tiger but
they
  are out of his price range.  Depending on the year he really likes both of
  these cars.



  Suggestions, warnings, thoughts.



  Thanks in advance,
