Hello British Car Forum. New member here. Looking forward to having good discussions and learning more about these amazing vehicles. We have a 1956 MGA (pictured below) and TR3B which we are in the process of restoring.

Hello UKRoadster

Welcome to the forum.

Great looking MGA.
You will find the Triumph section is very active so you are sure to get plenty of tips and advice for your TR3B restoration. Are you doing a frame off or a refresh restore on the TR3B
The MG section will be happy to help with your MGA.

Hello David, thanks! I am doing frame-off restoration of the TR3B. I have almost completely stripped down and working on welding in new floor pans and reinforcement bracing for the body removal.

Edited to add this, as I noticed you are from Macon, GA, following my post. I am from Georgia, originally. My wife is from Macon and I grew up in Lamar county (Milner), and also went to Crawford County High School (Roberta) for a time. I'm quite familiar with Macon and have spent much time there.

Small world.

I mention the bracing because the PO must have removed the body from the frame on my TR3A before he cut out the floor and inner sills. Took me a lot of work to get the door gaps correct. Drivers side door gap was at least 3/8" too small for the door.
