The good news is that you can lay a 2x10 across it and have a nice bench to sit on. Perhaps the only bumper I've ever seen that would work for that.

Re: [MBZ] MGB?
If I were to finish it up, as in, sync the carbs and it has something going on with the drivers door lock, could it be worth say around 5-6k?

Re: [MBZ] MGB?
You probably wouldn't fit comfortably if you are much over 6' tall. I drove an MGB-GT once when I was in college and 6'4" and I barely fit, it was fun to drive it around the ramp at the airport but that was about it. I think it would have been dangerous to drive it on the road, being able to work the pedals and all. You could flip it to someone who would appreciate it. If you are interested I could advertise it around here, there are rich guys who I have seen driving some old MGs, would probably pay some good money if in decent shape. --FT On 4/8/21 3:20 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: I have not tried but really just looking for a flip.

Do you fit in the driver's seat? - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 3:05 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > My buddy who bought an RV and is hitting the road has the 77 MGB he has > had for a while.
