I never know when to quit taking on unexpected projects. A neighbor stopped by a couple weeks ago. He had bought a house with a derelict '72 MGB rusting away under the rear porch. He offered it to me Gratis. I went over and looked. I said I was not interested in the car but might ask around to see if there was any interest. If not, then I might get a few parts that I could find a good home for. I did ask and got no interest. This last Monday I went over with some tools and picked a bunch of bits and bobs. I have been selling most of them cheap just to recover a bit of my time over the last few days. There were a few very desirable parts too. I hate to see parts go to the dump instead of helping out fellow hobbyists.
In addition to the MGB, there was a ratty fiberglass, 1-piece, front end for a Midget/Sprite (not a bugeye). I though I had someone for that but he (his wife) decided it wasn't in his future. So now it sits under MY deck awaiting to find a new home.
Still awaiting my clutch parts and it has turned rainy for the next few days so no more work on that front.
Can you take some pictures on your next walk over?
Steve, here you go. Not much to look at unless you are looking for a particular "bit". I did note that the passenger side jacking bracket was rusted away and just laying on the ground where it fell. One headrest had rusted away. pretty bad shape. It will certainly come apart when they try to remove it. I posted some of the parts I thought someone would be needing on the MGEXP board.

I did pick up a functioning British Leyland AM/FM radio. Not sure what I'll do with it, probably sell it off to recover some of my time. I had hoped to find the SU's, sun visores and a tonneau bar, but none to be found. It has a pretty nice front bumper I will probably go back for.
