I was around the Mall of GA area and stumbled upon an MGB that sounded like a monster.

I ended up following him into QT and talking with him for a bit. This car is a 76(I think thats what he said) MGB with the entire drivetrain from an RX7 that runs 11.7
Here are the pics...

i lived in oakwood for 3 years and he'd pass my house all the time...it's meannn.

I had a '76 Midget, someone paid me and my old roommmate $20 to take it away (lived in St. Ives and couldn't have a car over a certain age visible from the road and he wouldn't pull his two mercedes out of the garage to park it inside). We put a new brake master cylinder on it then off we went tearing up the mtn roads with more understeer then you could ever imagine :) Took the bumpers off (saved 75 lbs) and then it started handling a million times better. Wish we didn't get rid of it, traded her for a Baja Bug, doh!

actually i believe this guy's car has a carb'd 13b with a crazy porting job on it. it idles quite lumpy (maybe a bridge port motor) and that looks like a generic american carb on it.

Its Dan from Autotronix in Gainesville.. that came from another MG, he put it into the convertable because, obviously its lighter. One of his past cars was out running vipers.

The car I learned how to drive on was a metallic gold 72 MGB. I loved that car. No power steering, no power brakes, steering wheel as big as a bus. It had the original wire wheels, slick as hell. I love the 72 and older, they had the chrome bumpers, after that I think they all went to the rubber bumpers that looked like shit. When it was running it was a fun car. :sheds tear: :reminisces:

I've never seen that car run faster then 13s at commerce. It just makes a lot of damn noise and hurts my ears.
