1971 MGBGT Great tires! Stops straight. Shifts good. No weird noises. New left front wheel cylinder/caliper Clean installation of the engine & tranny. Motor mounts are tight and to answer the most commonly asked question, "the rear end appears stock,,, and it works great!" 12-14 yr old conversion, still runs great! New turbo according to PO Tires are size 205/60 R14 they say ZIEX ZE512. Wheel Caps say "MOTOR=X" “Air Shocks,” I’m not sure of the brand. Surface rust in a couple of areas, but really not bad or through the metal, it's a relatively dry, New Mexico car! Front valance is a little cracked (fiberglass) but you can deal with that when you decide to paint it. I've been told by the previous owner whom I can not contact or corroborate: Engine is a 3.0 from Ford Taurus S.H.O. Turbo is from Thunderbird (and recently rebuilt) New exhaust too! Items that don't work I'm aware of: Heater Windshield Wipers No hood prop rod. Speedometer/Odometer... Mileage can't be actual There's probably more, it's almost 40 years old. The paint is tired.. it looks like it was blue and re-painted green at some time before I received it. More Info: Make sure to see the 3 minute video showing this great car in action... http://www.tomthetoyman.com/mgbgt.htm Kinda' dusty under the hood but figured you'd like to see... http://www.tomthetoyman.com/mg/Gallery/ Interior is OK, not perfect. I've created an "out-takes" page showing the black seats and blue areas where it needs carpet to cover the original paint,,, basically showing the good & bad. at http://www.tomthetoyman.com/mgbgt_outakes.htm I've had the car a couple of years. It runs good, starts every time and gets thumbs ups wherever it goes. It cruises at 70-80 without revving very high due to the 4 speed overdrive tranny. I feel no compulsion to re-paint it. In spite of the gnarly looking close up photos it's a good looking car! Those photos are un-flattering but VERY close up in order to show you as much detail as possible. New Mexico & Arizona is where they store old airplanes due to the dry climate. If you're from the northeast, this is not rust as you know it. I've painted a few cars and in my non-professional opinion, this is surface rust and can be sanded off with 200 grit, primered then painted. Thanks for looking!
