That's nice. Couldn't build it for that price.

Kinda like the fuel fill inlet, I was thinking of moving mine up above the quarter and using a flip style cap, but haven't found one within my price range. He used a marine inlet, stainless, flush, nice...

I would hate to have that MG! It would sit in side the shop/garage, would hate to get her dirty!

it's over $18,000 with a little over half of a day to go! I'm quite interested to see what it sells for. What's the highest you guys have ever seen a B sell for?

7 hrs to go and $20K+ bid. Reserve not met.

I'm as curious as everyone else to see what happens.

If they claim they have 40K in parts into it they got hosed.Add it it a sub par paint job and the ugly body styling and it won't reach reserve. Another dreamer that thinks 40K in parts deserves to fetch 40K finished. It won't

I think you are belittling this car a little bit..I don't think it is ugly, in fact I like most of it, and I think others agree. He isn't asking 40k, he just said that's what he spent...which is potentially true. I think it is overall a very nice looking build and I would love to take it for a drive

Iv'e done and seen a lot of modified B's, it's only my opinion but jacked up over RBB ride height and that snubbed body styling leaves a ton to be desired. A ride yes,owning never.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder I'm sure glad it ain't my eyes that finds any beauty in that GT. winking smiley

Again,only my opinion. Fugly
