Acquisition

September 2010, I followed the advertised 61 MGA on Craigslist for more than a month.  The history according to the owner was that he purchased the car from an individual in Maryland with the intentiion of restoring it himself.  He collected parts for the car but lost his storage area for the vehicle.  The car came with 2 extra front fenders, 1 additional rear fender, 2 extra hoods, 1 additional trunk lid, 2 engine and transmissions (one 1500 and one 1600), 2 outer sill panels, replacement nose and grill.  After inspection the car, it was almost over whelming the amount of rust present, but as far as parts missing it appeared eveything was included except the fuel tank and 1 rear tail light lens.
