1977 MGB

I was in a hurry to start buying and selling sports cars, and after finishing the black 73 MGB with some help from my dad I bought the first turd I could find - a 1977 MGB that had suffered a small engine / carb / wiring fire. Here it is sanded for a repaint. While unhooking the front turn sigal lights and the front bumper, I asked my friend Troy to hit the lights. He flicked the headlight switch, which activated the starter motor and I was nearly run over in my parents' garage. No more rubber bumper B's for me...
