1958 MG Magnette 1800 & 5-speed upgrade

esweeney — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:02:11 +0000

This saloon was restored in the 90′s with an emphasis on originality. The current owner wants it to be a bit more usable on modern highways, so we’re adapting an 18V from an MGB mated to a Hi-Gear 5-speed conversion and installing it in place of the original driveline. Along the way we will also install a remote brake booster and may also change out the rear axle ratio if necessary.

After sitting for 8 years and being mismanaged by a local body shop, the owner of this MGB got in touch with us to step in and finally finish the project. We met with the customer at his Dutchess County, NY home and trailered the project back to our shop. Follow along as we begin to inventory the parts and sort through the job to completion.

1962 MGA Deluxe Coupe Factory Sebring race car

esweeney — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:38:40 +0000

Long thought to be lost to fire, this Factory Competition MGA resurfaced about 5 years ago. A true barn find, it languished in a dirt floored garage for 40 years. Now at Motorcar Garage for final body repairs and paint in preparation for the 50th anniversary reunion of “MGAs at Sebring” being held at Sebring, Florida in 2012 . The last of the racing MGAs, this is one of 3 lightweight Deluxe Coupes built specifically for Sebring 1962. Plexiglas rear and side windows along with fiber glass fenders are original to these 3 cars. With the Twin Cam MGA chassis and brakes, lightening modifications and a highly tuned pushrod MGA XSP engine, these cars were on par with the now discontinued MGA Twin Cams.

1963 MGB Rust Repair and Re-Assembly

Although this early MGB was restored less than 15 years ago, the owner has brought it to us to set right some of the body issues that were not addressed the first time around. After the metalwork it will be re-painted British Racing Green and re-assembled. Per the customers request we will be re-using as much of the original components as possible to keep costs down and to avoid creating a car “too perfect to drive”
