MGA Restoration

IMG 2460

Began restoration of MGA. It has been setting in my barn for 30+ years. Repairing (cleaning/painting/treating/patcing) rust spots on frame. Fabricated a mount for the transmission to mount to the crossmember. Welded repair palnels onto frame where wooden floorboards had resulted in frame rusted thru. Engine/transmission pulled & prepped for overhaul. Can't decide to restore with wooden floorboards or weld in steel floors. Leaning toward steel.
