Two questions maybe you can help me with: How much wi ... |

I'll for sure inspect bushings while I'm under there, but I think they're OK.
The short shift kit is beyond the scope for this project, but I will put it on the list of potential future upgrades.

I'm working on planning out F & R suspension upgrades. The goal is to get improved street handling, not anything approaching racing. I've done a bunch of reading here and have learned a lot. I thi ... |

Really enjoying watching this amazing work progress. Thanks again for taking the time to share. I'm curious what was done to, as you say, turn the US-spec motor into a Euro-spec motor. I've been half- ... |

An MGB GT is certainly on my short list for my next "fun" car.
Another really good place to look for these is the PCA classifieds. Yes, you have to pay to join the club to see the classif ... |

I'm also pretty new to the 924, having got my first (and current) one in November of 2019, so I'm by no means an expert on the model. That said, $7500 CDN sounds very aspirational for this car to me a ... |

Woot! Drive it as much as possible!
Had mine just about 14 months now, the last 10 or so it was drive-able. And now after a timing belt service I feel OK pushing it. Finally got it out of the city an ... |

Thanks for taking the time to share photos. My mind boggles at the amount of work that is going in to this. Surely it'll be the nicest Martini out there when done. |

Yeah, I saw your post about doing the EV conversion!
Very ambitious; I wish you well on that journey. Part of me would be sad to see a classic internal co ... |

Thanks for that. Honestly it was a bit of an idle question on my part since I'm far from the point of trying to improve the car over factory original. While it's completely driveable, there is deferre ... |

Hey, I know this is reaching pretty far back in time, but give us a summary of the engine rebuild. Was it purely stock, or did you do any performance upgrades? From what I've gathered from the forum s ... |

Been away a while, just catching up.
I've also been enjoying this thread. Very cool about your track day.
