Ok, I showed my dad all the stuff and this was his responce-
"Your info was EXTREMELY helpful-THANK YOU so much!!!!
Mom and I took the MGB for a test drive on Sunday. It basically had no brakes and ran a bit rough but after shocking myself when I checked the plug wires I figured that was the reason it was missing!!!
Anyhow, Mom felt the car sat too low to the ground and would be too difficult to get in and out of on a regular basis. The steering wheel is only 6" off the seat so it sits in your gut. I told her I would have fun working on it and felt it would be worth my while but she just didn't think it would be very practical for her so we walked away from it. Probably a prudent thing to do as I really don't 'need' another project."
So basically he's not gonna go for it since it was gonna be for my mom since he has the '53 Chevy and motorcycle as a daily driver (when theres no snow on the ground.) And if she isn't gonna be real happy about it then I guess its not really worth it. Too bad, because from talking with him it has lots of potential and would be a fun car to work on. But thanks again for all your help guys, the info you gave helped alot with the decision.
