A unique MG in the making! These parts are all for a '77 B with a V8 and frenched body. The undercarrige is this blue you see here, called Genetian Blue. The body and moldings will be in a lighter blue. There will also be a two-toned interior, including the Miata seats! Check out the projects page in the next couple of weeks to see this interesting car come to life!!!
