We have now started to restore a 1954 MG ZA, it needs a full
restoration but will be a great project for 2011, we will update the
progress with pictures etc as and when we can. |

We have now cut off the rear valance and cut out the old boot
floor then welded in the new boot floor panel. |

You can now see that we have fitted the rear apron which completes
that side and have turned it around, we have also stripped the front
and the nearside ready for more work. |

We have now managed some more work on the Magnette and as you can

of the B post and C Post, repaired the inner wheel arch and finally
replaced the left-hand boot floor tonneau.
More progress to follow shortly.

The underside is now all welded with new floorpans and reinforcers. |
Here you can see that it has all now been treated with red
oxide primer |

and in the second picture you can see it has then been sprayed in
primer. |

The
shell now in primer. |

We have now got the shell painted in Damask Red as it was
originally, and it looks really nice with the fresh paintwork. |
 |
 |
|
We have checked the fuel tank, re-painted it and fitted it back on
the car. |
Here shows the rear axle which has been powder coated and fitted
back in place with re-bushed springs and adjustable Spax shock
absorbers. |
 |
 |
|
The car is now down on its wheels at the back using knock on
alloys. |
The Front suspension is also now coming together, all parts have been
blasted and powder coated and we have used new bushes, Spax shocks and also
a replica Derrington anti-roll-bar. |
 |
 |
|
Disc brakes are now fitted using MGA hubs, grooved and dotted
discs,MGB Calipers mounted on special alloy mounting plates and
green stuff pads |
The engine bay is coming together with a new loom which has been modified to
suit the alternator and indicators instead of using the semiphores. |
 |
|
|
The wings have now prepared and have been fitted for alignment
before removing again ready for painting. |

We have now painted the boot and wings so these can now be fitted. |
