Hi I bought my first Morgan earlier this year, a 1969 4/4 competition. The car was in bits when I bought it and is now in my garage undergoing a full restoration. All the outer panels have been removed to enable repair of the ash frame and shortly it will be off the VSM to be repanelled in aluminium . While it’s there I will be rebuilding the engine. So plenty to do !

I am looking for a good bodyshop to do the paint, any recommendations would be very welcome.

Cheers

Phil

Welcome Phil

The last time I chatted to Steve Barnes he said he knows a paint guy who is very good and would be happy to get stuff painted. Might be worth having a chat with him.

Welcome to the madhouse!
That is a great project and hopefully you will get the car back asap to get out and enjoy it.
Is it going to be a road car or raced?
Both even!
Well done, sir.
