I *HIGHLY* disagree with this. (and I've got the burns to prove it!) MIG welding is a lot cooler on the metal than torch welding, especially on the surrounding area. Compare the Heat Affected Zone (H

Nothing to worry about, really. All parts are easy to replace if you really need a working speedo. Define "little"? Rust is of course the #1 enemy, everything else is easily fixed. Most likely, yap.

Once the negotiation gets serious and you get near a "good price", attempt to tune it up right where it sits and decide on the results. A tuneup is straightforward and quick if you can find somebody

As mentioned previously, I wouldn't do this since this provides no strength. As well, the floor flexes a little all the time while the car is driving. The rivets will eventually work loose. -- Trevor

Sure, like fenders and things, because they are effectively cosmetic. I wouldn't be adverse to say, attaching a dogleg with braze. Decently strong for some applications, but I don't see how it could

I don't think there is any doubt that none of the manifolds will fit. I was meaning more that the carbs will be closer to correct if taken from an early 70s B than from a late 50s MGA. SU carbs under
