Blue 77 MGB V8 Special

Casey has installed protectors so the cut-out
system does not get damaged.

their car for the first time!

Mark making some finishing touches to the grill.

The beautiful engine in the car.

The dual exhaust!


Blue wipers to match the blue car.
The trunk locking system Casey engineered to make
a smooth look on the outside of the boot lid.
Alligator stamped seats with an air pump system
to add comfort.

The interior is coming along great!
The components are coming together now and we should have the body within the next few weeks. The car will fly together with all of the prep work that has been done. It will truly be One of a Kind.
The engine is a work of art.
The dash and console have been died blue, with the addition of digital gauges.
Everything is blue, the tie rods, the shock reservoirs, even the washers on the A-arms.
The front of the car has been smoothed for a streamlined look. There will be no lights, moldings, door handles or ridges anywhere.
Dayton Wire Wheel has done a magnificent job with the blue for the wheels.

Casey has begun piecing parts together as they arrive.




Casey is now assembling the interior door handles on the B.




Lisa and Casey are unwrapping the newest parts from Park's car. We now have three long tables pushed together that are filled with powder-coated bits and pieces.






A unique MG in the making! These parts are all for a '77 B with a V8 and Frenched body. The undercarriage is the darker blue you see in the first picture, called Genetain Blue. The body and moldings will be in a lighter blue, which you can see in all three of these pictures. There will also be a two-toned interior, including the Miata seats! We will be adding more pictures as the pieces of the puzzle fall into place! Stay updated by checking the projects!!!
