It's great to hear you have the confidence to work on the frame. That frame is bent in several angles, and worries me just looking at the photo..!

I would guess you need to fabricate a jig with the correct geometry first, and then either align or replace tubes?

I don't think for a minute that Morgan will supply you with parts of the tubular frame, mainly because it's not built by them. It's made to spec by a supplier and they buy a unit once complete. They will always replace rather than repair for litigation purposes and legality, as they have no jigs.

This means that you'll be starting with a clean sheet of paper and finding tubing of identical properties alone. You may be well able to do this, and perform your magic on the frame.

Is the finished car going to be used on the road? If so, I would expect some form of inspection and/or testing for insurance purposes. You would have to pay for this too, I'm sure..!

That's just the frame.

The body could be fabricated by an expert, or you could possibly purchase a new one from Morgan. You would have to ask about that with them.

From a cost perspective, if you have sufficient skills and a certain amount of money it could be done. If your time is limitless, then you can be in pocket with the final costings.

If however, you intend to sell the car onwards once repaired then please don't sell it to the UK - I've seen privately repaired vehicles before!

I'm guessing you aren't a professional vintage car restorer, or you wouldn't be asking questions on here.

Good luck!!
