As a refresher the following photos are from a year ago just after MGA Dan had acquired the barn find.

MGA Barn Find - Update 11.2.13

The Barn Find MGA 1600 shown on 6th January has now found a new home.  The new owner has done a rough assembly of the car with the body panels that were stacked with the car.

 When out for a drive in Twin Cam YD2 1679 another of Dan superb restorations we called into see how the MGA barn find was going.  

  Dan is now well underway with the full restoration of the car and photos following illustrate the extent Dan goes to to ensure a great result.

Garage Visit - to MGA Guru Dan C

Went to have a few loose ends tidied with the twin cam (YD2 1679) this morning.  Dan can't help himself the "Barn Find" MGA 1600 looks like being saved and turned into another fine restoration.  Dan even mentioned the colour today - Monza Red.  If you want the best in MGAs you will need to get in early so could have a "little" influence on the finished car as long as it is red.

MGA Barn Find - Update 11.2.13

The Barn Find MGA 1600 shown on 6th January has now found a new home.  The owner has done a rough assembly of the car with the body panels that were stacked with the car.

The new owner has found a rack and pinion and fortunately has a suitable gearbox and engine for the car.

Photos of MGA 1600 which has resurfaced west of Brisbane. Dismantled by previous owner the car is missing several major components, engine, gear box and dash. It is believed these were sold as scrap metal.

Needs RHD rack and pinion which are hard to get.

MGB in much the same condition, no engine, gearbox etc, possibly good for body panel and hardtop
