1961 MGA 1600

Typically we like to repair MGA frames when the body has been removed. This gives us easy access to everything and allows us to flip the frame around for easier, more consistent welding. Sometimes, however, this is just not possible. This MGA has some severe frame rot in the passenger frame channel, the square-tube crossmember and the floorboard support rails.

After first removing the interior panels and carpeting from the affected areas we removed the old floorboard rails and cut out the rusty metal in the main frame channel. As you can see, even behind all that rust the rest of the frame is fairly rust-free, with just some minor surface rust.
