Greg,
Welcome aboard! I started my LBC life in 1995 with a 1976 Midget. My brother
laughed at me cause I was the jock and he the professional mechanic. I'm still
fumbling about 9 LBC's later, and 2 engine rebuilds and 2 cars stripped to the
bone and rebuilt. I still don't know much, but more then most whom don't own
LBC's. I get great pleasure when my professional mechanic brother has to ask
me a question about his 1969 MGB (-; So if I can do it, you can. This BBS is
a GREAT resource as well.
Safety FAST
Jim
69MGC

Hi All --
I'm about to take possession of a '69 mgb-gt (in brg). I've been lurking
here for a few weeks, but I'll soon be inundating you with questions I'm
sure, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Bothell, Washington,
near Seattle. I'm not a mechanic, not even mechanically inclined (a
character flaw I intend to do something about). Watching this list, I've
1)
become alarmed at the things that can and will go wrong with my new toy,
and 2) realized that y'all will be an amazing resource when they do.
The mgb-gt I'm getting is a nice driver, seems pretty solid ( a couple of
spots that will require attention). I'm hoping to enjoy it through this
summer, then start serious work on it next fall when the wet weather
starts.
I followed a pale primrose gt (chrome bumper) with collector plates east
out
of Canyon Park yesterday (great day for a drive!) -- was that anybody here?
