Hard one to judge. The overall patina and lack of sill and underside pics say stay away. However, the pics of the floors and inner sill seem to indicate a restorable car. I would have to see this one in person. I can tell you that the engine bay is surprisingly unmolested, something I value in an mgb

In reply to NOHOME :

Yeah.  The only real questionable spot I see is immediately behind the drivers door, down low.   Outside of that, provided it isnt rusted out underneath...

It kills me but there is no such thing as a cheap mgb project. 

The cheapest mgb is someone else's finished project. Miatas are next.

 I have a couple parts leftover from my '65 MGB that are free if anyone wants them (ashtray, soft top frame). : )

As far as classics go, if you can do all your own work, they are about the cheapest classic motoring you can get. 

Where they get pricey is when you decide to do a full-on restoration and in reality it is not so much expensive in terms of restoration cost, but rather the sad reality that you will spend twice the value of the finished car. MGBs really are under-appreciated classic cars as far as investments are concerned.

Buddy of mine built this 302 powered one for challenge money and has a ball driving it around.
