1962 MG MGA For Sale

For your consideration in this listing is a partially restored 1962 MGA.

I've been working on this on and off for the last 4 years. I'll describe below. I opted to use a five main 1800 MGB engine so some modifications are done (Emission control/electrical/drive shaft/ transmission mount/etc. )-Every nut and bolt removed from body and frame.

Frame checked for straightness, blasted, powder coated. All body panels and misc. parts stripped/blasted and rust treated. -Body panels sealed with two part epoxy, ready for thin bondo coat. All misc. parts/brackets blasted and sealed with same. -Three piece rocker assemblies mig welded.

Body epoxy coated inside and out. Body painted six coats. Engine bay and trunk ready for assembly. -Complete front and rear suspensions rebuilt with new parts/bearings/bushings. Four Armstrong shocks rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics-No front/rear bumpers, but the bumper brackets are present. -New brake cylinders/calipers/rotors/shoes. New master brake/clutch cylinder. NOS. New slave cylinder. -New copper/nickel

brake lines throughout. Copper/nickel used for fuel and vent lines. Recharged charcoal canister. -Wire wheels blasted, epoxy coated and painted. Five new tires mounted and balanced by Les Schwab.

-Anti-sway bay ready to install (after full weight of car is on the wheels). -New floors from 7 ply birch primed/painted installed with stainless fasteners. Floors not caulked in place: just weatherstripping for easy removal. -Two sets of seats. One reupholstered with new foam seat bottoms. The other is fully restored frames and bottoms ready for upholstery. -MGB 1800 five main engine fully rebuilt by Brian Schultzler at Bearing Service in Portland, Oregon. Invoice available. All parts are new. -Carbs rebuilt by Joe Curto in New York. World famous. -Rebuilt starter motor by Bill Jungck at PMX Alternators in Portland.

Bill also supplied correct rebuilt alternator. -Distributor supplied by Jeff Schlemmer in Minneapolis tuned and curved for this MGB engine. New sparkplugs and wire set. As you might see, an enormous amount of work has already been done on this car. I'm good mechanically but not so great a body and paint (although the engine bay and trunk look quite good), so this car need to go to someone more capable. I have lots of photos of the restoration that I can email. The body presently is just sitting on the frame and can be easily lifted off to prove the straightness of the frame if someone wants to.

You can do the approximate arithmetic to know about how much money I have put into this car. I'm sure I've forgotten some new things that will go with the car. I'll look at any reasonable offer and am not planning on getting paid for the hundreds of hours spent working on this car. This will be an excellent car project with most of the heavy lifting already done. I have a clear Oregon title in my name. Go to Portland Craigslist to see more photos.
