Good afternoon, Curtis.

 

Bill Spohn and Simon Austin have been prompting me to add my projects to your outstanding register of modified British cars.

 

Starting about 10 years ago, when I bought a very rough and incomplete MGA TwinCam, it struck me that I’d like a Classic with a modern drivetrain.  As I didn’t have any of the Twin Cam parts, I spent time in wrecking yards looking for likely powerplants and struck upon the Miata…inline 4, rear drive, similar displacement, modern specs and  small in dimensions…I decided on a 1996 from a fresh wreck with low mileage and two years later, I had my modified MGA.

My brother fell in love with the car and convinced me to convert his 1980 MGB about 5 years ago.

 

And just this month, I completed my 1972 MGB GT with the 2001 Miata drive train installed.  

Attached is the GT story.  As I’m goofing off at work, and don’t have any photos of the MGA here, I’ll just stick with the GT for now and submit the other two at a later date.

 

If the photos aren’t adequate or some of the words are missing, let me know.

System limitations prevented me from attaching all of the photos, so look for another note.

 

 

 

Regards,

Ed Theobald
