The finished car.

It is the end of March 2016, 2 years and 9 months since I purchased the car and started the restoration. I still have road testing to do and fix anything that shows up and still need to get it through an MOT, but essentially the car is finished.

    Did you change the diff to a higher ratio or kept the 3.9? If so, how are you finding it with the v8?

    No still has the standard diff. To be honest I prefer it as you get amazing acceleration and it still does 100mph, which is enough in an MGB. If you change the diff you will probably get 130 out of it.
