If it were me (and I had a little room) I'd strip the entire shell down and
keep everything I could. Or list stuff on eBay. People are
always looking for things like steel-wheel axles to convert a WW car, used
shocks to be rebuilt, etc. Or maybe just put the hulk
on eBay or craigslist.

Subject: [Mgs] parting out '78 MG
'lo all,
I'm scavenging my dad's mostly mechanically sound, but sad looking '78
MGB for a collection of parts for my '75. When I'm done, it goes off
to the crusher.
The engine and transmission were rebuilt about 12 years back. I want
the engine, but the tranny is a non-OD, so while I will be keeping it
around, if somebody has a need for the later non-OD tranny with pretty
new guts, let me know.
Right now, all I know for sure that I want from this car are:
the engine
the brake and clutch master cylinders and booster assembly
2 steel wheels
"good" electrical components (heater fan, various relays)
shiny bits such as mirrors and lights
if in good condition, the bumper assemblies
if not warped, the boot lid
So, 2 questions:
Are any other parts that I should be considering that are valuable
on my '75?
Once my own needs are covered, would anybody else like to pick away
at this car? It's located in Elma Washington, about 30 miles west of
Olympia.
