Parts availability? 79 MGB
I have an oppportunity to trade for a rust free 1979 MGB in very good condition. I have owned and repaired numerous vehicles in the past - Porsche, jeep, bobcat, farmall, airplanes, motorcycles, etc. I have never owned an MGB. I was wondering if someone could help me with a couple questions:
1) Are all parts still available for these cars? If so, what are some good sources? 2) What should I look for when I check this thing out? Any common problems? Has around 70k miles. No rust. From AZ. New leather, top, etc. Thanks! |
