I'd spend my precious time and hard earned $$ on getting from point A to point be as rapidly as possible, with the abilty to get there in a twisty turny kinda way. That way when Billy and Bobby try to impress you with their new - insert brand here - you can leave them with blank looks and jaws in their laps. Ok, maybe that's just my opinion...... LoL

Isn't that why many of us got into this maddness in the first place? Because they're such a blast to drive?
 
I would have no problem at all driving it as is, but it looks like a great candidate for restoration. Back in the long ago days of college my best friend had an MGA in fairly rough shape. He got T-boned at an intersection and managed to straighten it out a bit but the doors would no longer close. Solution? he removed the doors and installed safety harnesses scrounged from an RB-66 Hustler bomber. (I don't know how he came up with them but he was well connected with the military) In any case I can assure you that tooling around with no doors was a real experience.
Cheers,
Mike
 
An observation..

Now that my A is on the raod and looking pretty as a picture...

I must admit that I have received more comments and complements from passers-bye when I drive my rattie, rusted, un-restored '66 MGB than when I drive my glossy, shiney, looks almost new, '57 MGA...

Go figure... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
