They came with
rostyle rims and earlier models with option wires. And the car would not stay planted to the pavement with the race motor at 50% over stock in 2200 lb. MGB.
240 h.p. gm v6 and 5 speed is going in so other rim choices will need to be decided upon.
The rims were the closest ones with 225/15 v.s. 165/14's that were needed otherwise it was smoking the tires through all 4 gears.
Sometimes demand forces compromises![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Don't scrap a GT split bumper 1970. They are in demand and fetching top dollar.

Is the coast clear and I can join in again?

It would need some welding and there is not much point in doing it on such a common old car! Here in the UK we have a government incentive where you can get £1000 from the government for scrapping an old car! That's more than the value of that old MG!

That's why
you do to it![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
The example shown is a 170 h.p. engine.I'm building a stroked 240 h.p. forged piston motor.
Please don't scrap it.Someone would probably buy it and ship it stateside just to have a correct side of the road model.![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Well, the customer can get £1000 if we scrap it...I'm tempted to buy it off him and restore the car.... but I have too many cars already and need to do some work on the house and garden first!
