Rick Astley
1970 MGB-GT V8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rick was already slowly assembling the parts to build an MGB-GT V8 conversion when this one came up at a good price on eBay, and he decided it wasn't worth the trouble of doing it himself. All the components proved to be in pretty good shape, the only problem being that the conversion had been very poorly executed. Rick took a year rebuilding most of it and it's now drivable with only some suspension and back-axle issues to tackle. The car is powered by an Oldsmobile 215 engine driving through a Rover SD1 5-speed transmission.
