27/05/06
| The page for May 2006 has been added using a new Windows based
website provider. The site
was on the limit of the old providers capabilities and was giving too many
errors whilst uploading updates. |
| The last five months have been spent on fitting the doors and catches in
order to finalise the bodywork alignment and fairing. |
15/12/05
| The page for December 2005 has been added
tackling the passenger side wing repairs and door alignment issues. A lot of
progress made towards being ready to get the body off at last. |
30/06/05
| The page for June 2005 has been added after a long
delay which shows a
step-by-step guide to restoring the wings and problems I encountered. |
01/01/03
| The page for December has been added which shows a
step-by-step guide to restoring the doors. I have also found some photos
of the car before it came to us. |
20/12/02
| A new Google search has been added to the links
section of the website which allows you to
search for particular things to do with our restoration project. This will
be far more useful when there's more stuff to search through, but I hope it
helps!

4/11/02
| October (and probably November too) has been a quiet month in terms of
restoring the car. Tom has returned to uni and Graham is currently on a
business trip in Tunisia. Look out for the next report expected around the
end of December! |
27/9/02
| The September dairy page is now online. This
month has involved generally cleaning the car out and preparing body panels
for restoration. |
31/8/02
| The final wing panel was removed today! The next stage is to reinforce the
remaining body panels so that they can be lifted off without being
distorted. |
26/8/02
| The Barber MGA Website goes online and is now a proud member of the MG
Webring. |
25/8/02
| The rear right wing has succumbed to repeated attacks by angle
grinder! |
22/8/02
| By grinding the remaining wing bolt heads, the left front wing was removed
amid clouds of rust. |
18/8/02
| The left rear ring was removed by sawing the bolts and hacking through
bodged areas of fibreglass. Unfortunately this also involved the left door
sill disintegrating! |
| Both doors were removed by drilling the heads off. This provided much
deserved relief to the groaning door pillars. |
