Welcome to My MGB

PLEASE NOTE (added 2/2/2009): If you just landed on this page, this is not the last or most recent entry! Click on the 'My MGB' logo above to see the latest updates.

Last Friday I bought a 1977 MGB. This blog will discuss the various things I do to it over the course of the next few (probably) years. Stay tuned for pictures and a detailed description of the initial condition, plus how I'm going to get it home and other tales of interest.

In the meanwhile, enjoy this Wikipedia image of what the car used to look like:

I'm going to paint it red.

Looking for some help?

This website is mainly being written to help other MG enthusiasts do things on their cars. The car this blog is on is a 1977 MGB kept in Maryland (where it has been most of its life).

Look under 'Discussed Topics' below to find all entries on a specific topic.

A bullet in green at the beginning of each article details the work being discussed in that entry. Purple indicates what was resolved doing this.
