How about the engine side of it? Does the engine hold up well running with the turbo boost? If the engine is sufficiently robust, perhaps you could get a turbo from something Japanese in a junkyard

That would be the case with rational smog rules. But to give an example from the vintage Landcruiser list: One guy lives in a state with visual inspections. Awhile back, he replaced the carburetor w

4. Rip Van MGB Starts to Snore... (score: 1)

In my search for a project MGB, it looks like I've found one. It's a '65 with 130k miles (I may name it Methuselah?) but it's all there. It has sat for 20 years, more or less (the owner claims 8, but

Sorry for the WOB, but my computer was wonky yesterday and I don't think the message went out. Somebody was advertising a TR6 with a dead engine -- could you get in touch with me? Thanks, Charles.

Argh! Someone posted to this list about a TR6 with a dead engine for $800. I tried to get in touch with you but my computer wasn't interested. (This computer prefers the MG, I guess? :) Obligatory MG

7. '80 MGB, tatty -- to buy or not to buy? (score: 1)
Author: Charles N Horton <carolus@MIT.EDU>
Date: Mon, 08 Jun 1998 22:05:45 EDT
I'm considering an '80 MGB, in need of a new clutch. How much does a clutch replacement run? I don't have much in the way of equipment for doing it myself, so I'd probably need to have a shop do the

You want the chain, or gears. Belts are a dumb idea. Compare: You see all sorts of modern designs, from Hyundais to BMWS, for sale cheap after catastrophic engine failure. (Nearly got a '93 Elantra

Point taken, but I suspect most of those failures were not caused by timing problems. As has been thoroughly hashed out here, an MG is not a Toyota. You don't get 200,000 miles from a rebuild. All e

Second that about detachable-face vs. removable stereos. You will start out putting the removable unit in your trunk or under the seat, leaving a mount in the dash that tells a thief, "Hi! Please loo
