long story short, i bought this little guy when i was 14, restored it, then drove it to high school, which un-restored it. it then sat in the garage for about 7 years rotting away. i've decided to fix & sell it to pay off some stuff (motorcycle racing is VERY expensive), and just brought her home from the paint shop. enjoy!

will update with pics as i put her back together.

That paint job looks pretty darn good! Who did it, and how much did it cost? Basecoat/clearcoat, or enamel?

That's hot! Once you put it all back together, it should bring in some decent Dinero!

Wow!! that looks nice. Nice straight body, no ripples, good paint job by the look of it. Hm, I'm not so sure that you will want to part with her after all, when she is done.
Good luck; keep us posted. Brings back nice memories.:D

Awesome car!!! The paint job came along very well.

to answer the questions, i did all the body work and primed it, then had a shop here in town spray it base/clear. painting ran $1200, and he did all the masking and what not. he also color-sanded and buffed it before i picked itup. thanks for the compliments.

Nice work Matt! You can tell you put some time and love into the body!

Thats an awesome car!! Nice work.. You can tell you put a lot of time and work into it.. But its nice! Cant wait to see the updated pics!!

Looks good. Great job.

Looks GREAT!!! It's obvious why you've kept it around.

That's awesome! Good luck restoring and have fun. BTW--it's an MG, right (forgive me if I'm wrong--classics aren't exactly my area of expertise)?

yep, 1971 MG B. good guess!
