OMG - This is an old thread forgive me if I posted before - first car, 1967 MGB (the Peanut) was primrose yellow. I put in a Tilton aluminum flywheel, overhauled the motor, put a Webber two stage down draft on it and it ran like a scalded ape with a mere 1.8 liter engine. I wished I'd never sold it. I used to park it at the University of Texas parking lot under a semi trailer.:sad::sad:

79 yota cressida with a messed up tranny and an inline 6. Had to warm the car up for 20+ minutes before she'd allow any gear other than reverse. Had power everything though...

First vehicle was my 85 Bronco II, bought it from a farmer for $480, drove it for 2 years and the engine just died on me in September. Still cant figure out what happened to it :icon_confused:. I still have it and am planning a 302 swap in the summer :yahoo:
