Its true! I'm taking the low budget route to "true" motoring. Sandblast
wheels, respray, mount and balance some new 165 wide tires, a used disc
wheel rear axle and front hubs. Labor intensive sure, but that's the way
this car was built, by MG and again by myself from parts. Should feel like
a new car again. I had been putting off buying tires because my wire wheels
were so out of true. I tired to do that myself, and was somewhat successful
in freeing up old spokes with heat, but the more I thought about it, the
more I liked the look of disc wheels and could easily "visualize" them on
my '66 MGB. See you on the road!
