lol, tanx, yeah, thas a pvc elbow :oops:

. I figured once it doin the job, use it, lol, all it needs to do is get cooler air from up front up to that point. Better looking than the AC hose I used to have loose fitting over the airbox opening.

hey MG man my dad has areally nice British Racing Green MGA, he has owned it all his life, actually picked up my mom in it

, i gotta post a pic of the engine and car for you, its immacualte as he jsut did it over with brand new fenders/panels and paint, new wooded floor, new minilite wheels, janspeed exhaust, solex carbs, rebuilt engine, race cam, new interior and roof and all leather all round etc.. really really nice

but here is my POS..

before:

now:

i ogtta get better photos...

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » May 25th, 2005, 2:54 pm

Sounds cool............Hmm, if its a wooden floor, then it would be an MGA
The MGBs had a conventional metal floor....why a solex carb tho???

I guessin this is not in Trinidad.....

CA is your dad's car the soft-top MG that used to come in Angostura when he worked here? I always loved that car, can't quite remember his name.

he lives in cascade... and jsut spoke to him, its a MGA - your right

and its Twin SU carbs, my bad

i'll fix my post

it pretty much looks EXACTLY like this, he is even getting eh white wall tires

he pretty much drives it everyday, and everynow and then i get to use it to show off for some young un expecting girl, take her off to maracas with the top down... her hair in the wind, her pants by her ankles - :twisted:

I suspected it was Gerry's car but I din want to call names. We spoke a few times when I worked at Angostura...at the time the car had a metal floor. Glad he put back in the marine ply cuz the metal floor tends to soak exhaust heat, but the wood insulates against it.....he may remember me as the fella from marketing with the yellow MGB GT

Bezman · Postby **Bezman** » May 25th, 2005, 3:48 pm

I am sure he will remember, he's got that elephant memory thing going... if you guys see the car now, its really nice. always hoped he would leave it to me

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » May 25th, 2005, 3:54 pm

yeah, it needed some TLC while I was at Angostura, but I used to dribble every time i see it.......he always said he won't sell, so unless u have siblings, its probably yours

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » May 25th, 2005, 3:55 pm

So yuh sellin?????
