A Few Quiet Moments with our 1960 MGA Roadster

As this project comes closer to completion, earlier this week before the Bridge Classic Cars restoration team began work on the 1960 MGA Roadster I got a few quiet minutes to photograph this truly stunning classic sports car.

The paint and body team have worked incredibly hard to perfect the fit and finish of this wonderfully nostalgic machine. So, I had to take this opportunity before they take the car back into our paint and body department to finish off and finesse the last few bits and pieces.

1960 MGA in Epoxy

With the exterior panels such as the front and rear wings being worked on in the prep area of our Suffolk HQ, the body shell of our 1960 MGA has been into the paint booth for its date with the spray gun.

Our technician Mauro, who has been working on this project, has laid down the first coats of Epoxy primer onto the classic British sports car in the next step of getting this car to look the best it possibly can.

Valance Repairs on the 1960 MGA

The fabrication shop have been working their skills on the rear valance and wing of the 1960 MGA.

Chris, one of our fabricators, has been working on getting the new rear valance to fit onto the car. After the original had been removed from the car, and the new piece test fitted, Chris discovered a conflict between the rear valance and the right-hand rear wing.

The right hand rear wing shows signs of previous repairs and this had distorted the panel, making the finish of the new panel challenging. Chris used his skills to manipulate and gently reshape the panels to work together and a new flange area on the valance to work with the wing and make the cars profile flow perfectly.
