#203958 So yea ive been getting a fair bit of good deals lately on car parts and well today was no exception I have been looking to possibly sell my hatch and get something more classic like a mgb or something like that and well lets just say that today was well one of those days where you start to accept the changes.....and so with 100$'s handed over i came home with a car load of MG parts and here are the pics

Image

Image

Image

4 rostyle rims i think ill have fun restoring these....
Image

Image

A brand new drop in 6v battery
Image

Wire wheel (for the knock off hub design, and 2 radiators they hold water arnt pressure tested....but yea one had the whole shroud....
Image

Misc stuff 3 shift levers, plates,spring bolts, a spring, steering column and wheel and not pictured i got a steering rack as well.
Image

Then i got two MGB doors with everything except door panels pretty much
Image

Armrest that need recovering which just so happen to come with a brand new recovering kit
Image

Image

And then my favorite part because somehow i can lift it alot easier than that of a civic transmission a MGB 4 spd transmission turns and shifts rather smooth
Image

Image

So yea looks like i should be planning to go ahead and purchase a MGB soon more than likley ill get teh convertable but the GT's are nice.....i wont forget the honda world either as i still plan on buying a hatch again in the near future....but im also planning on using delsol seats in the MG as i am tall lol......so woohoo.....

#204028 i may be still contradicting myself lol i may still go ahead with project turbo hatch or my code name vixan idk y i called it that but yea.....

im to the point where i could go either way its probaly the fact that i just haent driven my hatch in so long but theres also so many problems with it that id be spending a boatload more than its worth id say to get everything right itd be about 1-2k easily but dont fret i still have the sedan for now w\hich will receive a 5spd swap shortly as im starting to get tired of the automatic tho it dose make it easier to have my hand on my girls lap lol....but yea that will go eventually as well but when tha goes probaly the money from the sedans going to get me another hatch preferably another cx or vx hatch im keeping the parts the make my hatch special to me so i think all n all itll be good to let her go for now......

and then im going to get into carbs and stuff lol with these darn mg's triumphs and austin healey's cant wait because they are just as simle as our civics i just need something new in my life right now car wise and who knows maybe after i get the mg to the point where im done and enjoy it a bit i may just go ahead say fuck it and get a Datsun 240z but i dont see that happening they are great cars and god do i love them but for me they are a bit too complex but maybe a datsun 510 as thats simpler lol.....idk we will see what ends up happening. but for now i still have no place to work on my car so we will see what happens...
