	My MGB after 18 months off the road, let me know what you think, Can anyone guess what the bulge/scoop has been cut out of? will be amazed if anyone can guess? put it like this the louvres were grafted in off an old hotpoint mircrowave! haha Quick Spec, 3500cc Rover V8 conversion, Webber Carb, electronic ignition, tubular manifolds, stainless single silencer exhaust system. 5 speed SD1 LT77 gearbox, v8 axle and prop Sebring rear valence, ST tuning front spoiler, custom bonnet, early indicators fitted. Race springs, rear roll bar, buckets seats, 3 point harnesses. All work done by me and my dad apart from the respray which was a cheap self prep jobby thats scome out really well, apart from some defects in the bonnet that we missed when we prepped it.

	An engine shot, But the airbox set up has since changed in order to take advantage of all the cold air coming through the scoop

	Nice to see a well modded MGB. Too often the MG crowd frown on this kind of thing; it's good to see someone telling them where to shove it!
