1962 MGA MKII Restoration

 

My latest MGA. I did not intent to start another MGA project, but the first was so much fun and I had a lot of extra parts that other people offered me a prices I couldn't refuse. I also like a challenge....

 

As found, behind the same shop as the other MGA, but in a slightly drier spot. Only one fender, no interior, no boot lid.
Most of the boot floor is gone. 35 years outdoors is rough on a car.
The NC Division of Motor Vehicles had the complete title history of the car since December 1961. The last titled owner (1972) helped me get a current title in my name! He did not know what happened to the car after it was hauled away for parts.
After straightening out the front, most of the metal had to be cut out. The collision damage on the front happened in early 1971- the last time the car was driven.
Almost everything painted is new metal.
Left A pillar.
Collision damage and rust ruined the rear shroud and boot floor.
The metal replacement is finally finished. you can see the new sills, boot floor and rear shroud.
Removing paint.
Fender patching is finally finished. The car is almost ready for the primer surfacer.
Restoration Finished!
