No its not an overweight pos engine

It's a 3.9 Rover, .030 over - 300 crank.. around 5 liters

 

They're E39 M5 replica wheels, 18x8.5 all around. Previous owner had them painted up like that. Heres another angle:

when do you think everything will be complete? do you have another mg that is running and drive it frequently?

 

Still have a few things to do. I was just out finishing some prep work on the front suspension bits. Still need to paint it and reassemble it. Rear suspension bits are on back order. The engine is almost done besides one head which is still being ported(dremel ftw). I have all the other parts, besides fuel management/tires/rims, to get it running... To be honest it will never be done, but I'm hoping to have it running before school lets out.

As far another MG, my dad has one(3.5l Rv8) which has been done for a while. Restored from the ground up, everything except paint done in house. He doesnt drive it around too terribly much though. http://www.britishv8.org/MG/BobEdgeworth.htm
