Discussions board for the classic MG MGA.
My friend has one and wanted to know what it's worth. It's rusty but solid. I took some pictures. He also has a frame but it looks pretty bad in the middle. Here is a picture of the Front of the body/tub. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Louis
Sorry, "rusty but solid" is a contradiction. Looks like there will be a lot of work to restore it.
Your friend should be happy if someone takes it off his hands and saves him th trouble of trashing it.
I bought a PERFECT front body tub from a fellow in Vancouver three years ago for $500. Not that I've done anything with it yet though...
would be better if the nose was in better shape. My car had a lot of pitting and holes where the fender attaches..would have been worth a few bucks to me at the time, provided the clip is not pitted in the same area, but the nose damage kind of cancels that out.
Still, this would have saved me a lot of work - it's worth something to someone - but hard to mail!

I'd shop it on the trader forum. Perhaps you'll get some interested apprasials. I've got the same thing fore and aft on a good frame FWIW but no one seems interested in the $1500 I think its worth and its not anywhere near as rusted...but still rusted in half....
If it was mine and I got a hundred dollar offer it would be out of here before they hung up the phone. You might try ebay, never know what might happen. It only takes two people that want what you have.
