THE EASTERN NEW YORK MGA CLUB
is pleased to announce a Tech Session with
Edward Hausman, master British motorcar restorer and proprietor of
Body Unlimited; assisted by Larry Eckler, proprietor of Morgan Spares

Body Unlimited specializes in complete restorations.  This includes the 
fabrication of body panels and repair sections and expert welding in both 
steel and aluminum with MIG or TIG.  Eddie Hausman's reputation as a painter

is legendary.  He has done member John Jennings' show stopping cars; his 
Jaguar XK140, his Morgan 4/4 and his Triumph TR 3. You may remember the 
cover of British Car magazine that had a beautiful picture of these cars.  
He has also done member Jim Dickson's award winning Morgan 4/4 and our 
Technical Advisor Nick- O'Donohoe's soon to be completed MGA.  He has 
painted almost all of the cars in the Morgan 3/4 Club.  Eddie also installs 
interiors, carpeting and is an expert at rewiring harnesses.  He has 25 
years of experience.

The tech session will begin with a discussion of the complete step-by-step 
disassembly of a 1959 Morgan 4/4.  This will be followed by a demonstration 
of how to cut out a rusted section of a fender, cut and form a rust repair 
panel for it and then weld it in.  The next demonstration will be on how to 
expertly, prepare and paint a panel.  After this there will be a discussion 
on how to properly plan the re-assembly of the car.  He will also be 
demonstrating the techniques involved in re-skinning a door of an MGA 1600.

Eddie would like to extend a very unusual offer to anyone attending this 
tech session.  If you are having a problem with some aspect of your car's 
restoration, you are welcome to bring the part, panel or piece with you and 
Eddie will happily demonstrate how to make a professional repair.  He asks 
that you please call the shop first to make arrangements.
