Last nite at about 420pm...my MGA from Fl. finally got to my shop. By the time we positioned the car hauler and got it in the building, it was almost dark so couldn't do a whole lot execpt sit in in and make MG noises:smile: Seems to be in pretty fair shape, but this week-end we'll start the tear down and inspection. Has a fiberglass front valance(cracked) so thats at the top of the list to order. Radiator is...new...is finally on the way and looks like someone removed the heater box and core, think I may have one located. Trunk is full to the brim of carpets, new interior panel and parts, jack and bag..stuff like that. Spare is missing but I have a few extras. Tires and tubes are brand new except for pushing on and off the truck. Engine turns and all parts seem to be present. Gas tank, exhaust and many parts seem to be new. Looks like someone started a resto and quit many years ago. Will clean it up and shoot a few pics.
 
Outstanding, can't wait.
 
Awsome. I can only imagine how excited you are. It will be a fun winter.
 
Excellent, glad it arrived safely and in good shape. Enjoy!
 
Have already started the disassembly. Parts are rolling in....everyone, including the wife is in love with it. She finally got to see it and said it sure brings back memories. The last coupe we owned was 32 years ago...and it was totaled by a semi truck...chopped it clean in two. Luckily we were towing it.
 
I just found my digital camera..I'll get some pics later today or in the morning. Body is pretty much intact, just have the engine ripped apart. This morning I spent a couple hours prowling E-Bay...I think I have a blister on my finger from doing buy-it-nows and bidding on stuff. I told the wife if she didn't shoot me while I sleep...maybe I'd let her drive the CGT or the B...she said she'd stick with her Mustang GT.
