Hi All
I am relatively new to the list, although I have been lurking for a while and 
enjoying the digest.
I recently purchased a 1962(?) MGA 1600 MkI coupe which needs a fair amount of 
body restoration, although engine and chassis look reasonably sound.
I am in the process of finishing my first restoration (a T****ph Sp**f**e) 
which is now +/- 98% complete and hope to turn my attention to Maggie (The Iron 
Lady) within the next few months.
I would like to ask the collective wisdom of the list as to how easy (or 
difficult) is it to remove the body panels eg. the front and rear wings so as 
to do the necessary body repairs and replace or refurbish the piping between 
the wings and the main body, and what precautions may be necessary.
I should perhaps add that I will probably get someone to do the panel repairs 
and spray painting for me as I don't have the expertise, but I will do as much 
of the work as I can myself.
Any suggestions, advice, etc. will be welcomed
Regards
