I got this ’75 MGB from my Dad’s good old days. One day when it stopped running, he tried to fix it and started putting it apart, but after a while, changed his mind and focus on other projects. 10 years after looking at the car sitting at his house backyard, I asked him if it was ok if I tried to finish what he started. He said “sure son go ahead, is all yours!!”
Before, in Dad’s backyard
After that, it took me around 2 years to put it all together the way I liked. I combined different MG parts from different years, with racing and hot rods aftermarket parts that I thought look cool, regardless if it was different from the original look. Some MGB lovers told me I was crazy, and I don’t know you, but I think is looks way better that when it was sitting on my Dad’s backyard. Only problem now, is my Dad what’s his car back!

Beautiful Car…. The Purists that call it blasphemy to alter a car get on my nerves… They’re usually the ones with Garage Queens that never get driven, except to shows, etc… The point is you should drive the car all you want, like it was meant to be… Not a person that freaks out if a wheelwell gets dirty… If you wear it out again…. Restore it again !… What’s the point of a Concours show car, if it sits in the garage all the time?
