Hoping to have everything cleaned up like that MGB, funds are low right now so the budget has gotten tighter.
Hood fits with some adjustments and a little massaging but i have it seems to fit pretty well, i want the car to look stock besides the wheels and possibly the exhaust.
I'm using the w58 transmission out of n/a mk3 supra, had to cut some of the x-member but im welding extra support. The exhaust right now just points down but i want to route it all the way to the back. Not sure what muffler to get yet.

Took me awhile to figure out what engine that was, but figured it was a Toyota supra. My friend Steve did the cylinder head for one here local that put out 1200hp... not sure if that was engine dyno or chassis dyno, but regardless... Yikes! That be a lot of power!
I think the only other Toyota engine in a Roadster I've seen is an 18RG twin cam...

Thanks guys!
Still figuring out wiring.
I have spark, injector pulse and starter signal to all work. Going to use an Mk3 fuse box as i have 3 extras and i think i can mount it inside to clean everything up. Sump is being welded to stock tank soon and will be running lines short after.
I'm really excited to see progress on this!

It might be a roadster, but it's not a Roadster.

Yes, the MG is a copy of the Datsun!
