New Project - 1956 MGA

Ray and I have agreed to finish another stalled restoration project.  Our last one on a 1952 MGTD turned out real well, so we decided to tackle another one.  This car belongs to a fellow club member, Dick.  The body was already removed from the frame and was at Darrell's, our favorite sheet metal and paint guy.  Today we brought the frame, engine, tranny, and a few other pieces to the shop in Boonville to get started.

Here's some general pics of the frame and other pieces:





Dick says the engine is fine other than needing to have the ring gear replaced on the flywheel.  He also says the tranny needs some syncros replaced - we've found a local shop that will rebuild a manual tranny for a reasonable price so we'll give them a try.

And so the process begins again!
