them as he wants them to go to someone who will appreciate them. Contact

58 MGA

****************************************************************

I have a 1959 MGA coupe that I was going to restore so it could sit 
proudly next to my restored '59 roadster.  However, I have decided to 
pass this one on to someone who is ready to restore a coupe now.  I am 
unable to pursue the restoration due to declining health and hope to 
find a new home and new life for this wonderful car.  In addition to the 
coupe I have a '75 mgb that I acquired with the intention of upgrading 
the drive train in the coupe with the 18V engine, 4 speed all syncro 
transmission, electric overdrive and a 3.9 rear end.

The coupe - I have disassembled the car and removed the body from the 
frame.  The sheet metal parts have been media blasted and epoxy primed. 
  The frame is untouched and still a rolling chassis.  Since disassemble 
I have notice that there is a small dent in the driver's side dogleg, 
invisible before removing the body.  During media blasting it became 
apparent that the sills were in need of replacement.  I have purchased 
the sills and they will go with the car.  There is some small rust spots 
on the body but nothing catastrophic.  All the glass is intact and I 
have sandblasted and primed most of the loose parts on the car.  The 
engine is an 1800 from a '63 mgb +/- in unknown condition.  I have also 
purchased a new pan for in front of the radiator as the existing one is 
damaged, no doubt when the frame was damaged.  I believe that this is a 
complete car and it has been stored out of the elements in a storage 
shelter.

The Mgb - The body on the b is excellent and comes with a serviceable 
top that kept the interior dry through several rains (until I bought a 
shelter to house it in).  It has been stored in the shelter and 
protected from the weather for several years.  The brakes need redoing, 
there is some rust in the floor pan, the interior is mostly nonexistent 
except for the seats which seem to be usable and the dash and console. 
Keep in mind, I never really drove the B as it was to be a parts car. 
At the time I bought it it had new tires and a new battery that will go 
with the car.  I've had second thoughts about using the car as a parts 
car because the body is so good and I think that with a little effort 
the B could become a nice car if it didn't get used for a parts car.
