Another MGB GT V8 conversion

A few shots of my B GT that I built in 2012 and used in the 2013 Blyton MDA Sprint Championship, as well as a couple of track days at Blyton.
This is at one of the sprint meetings after my pal Stephen made me a new bonnet to cover the Holley. I'm running on 7x16" OZ Polaris wheels with 195/50-16 Toyo R888 tyres for sprints and 7x15" AZEV A alloys with 195/65-15 Avon ZV5 on the road.
The engine is the usual ex-SD1 3.5 with a Holley, Real Steel heads, rattly cam and through the wing RV8 manifolds. It all needs to come out for a rebuild as it was only ever intended as a stop gap whilst I developed the suspension.
The front suspension is a slightly modified RV8 double wishbone set up and the rear is my own 4 link coil sprung arrangement. Front brakers are standard RV8 vented discs and 4 pot calipers and the rear are Rover 600 discs and JCW Mini calipers.
Anyway, there's lots more I could say but I'll save it for another day, other than to report that I won my class in the sprint championship - well pleased!
