FS 59 MGA Rust bucket #1

Bought as a project but have decided I just don't have the energy or desire any longer.

Serious body rust but frame appears ok. Tear down was started , motor will turn but condition unknown along with everything else. Will need a heap of work and parts. Not for the faint of heart. Build or scrap it and ebay the parts...your choice. Have a title from Montana but never submitted for Colorado DMV. Consider the worst there.

$1500.00 Firm. Will deliver anywhere in the lower 48 for $1.00 a mile one way as determined by Map Quest from Fruita Colorado

Boot looks good and the engine compartment looks fairly unmolested

Useable boot lid

Rather have a 4.1 rear end? Great... I'd rather have the 4.3 out of the 59. You can have this just send me the pumpkin out of the 59 so I can do a gear swap on my 52 TD. If not I keep this.

I get I could polish it up in about 1000 hours. I'm guessing $10,000 to get it looking and running good?
