I have a whole lot of 1958 MGA parts ands pieces that I've been accumulating in the hopes of building a car out of them, but reality has set in HARD ! 

Got a frame minus the goal post and cross members to support seats. 
Have the angle and square stock to rebuild there seat supports. 
Another front frame clip with the goal post and suspension/steering. 
Rear springs and MGB rear end. 
Drive shaft. 
Battery cover. 
Doors and steel rear fenders. Hoods and trunk lids. 
Hinges and handles. 
Luggage racks. 
Windshield frames. 
Tan canvas convertible top and frame. 
Head light assemblies. 
Early and mid-year tail light assemblies/bulb holders/lenses/gaskets. 
Front directionals. 
Four (2 front and 2 rear) fiberglass fenders. 
Fiberglass outer rockers. 
Fiberglass "Sebring style" front valance. 
Grill and nose piece w/ aluminum mesh grill insert. 
Emblems. 
Body MGA vent grills. 
Seat pieces and pieces for more seats. 
Transmission hump. 
Rear clips in need of work. 
Front clips in need of MORE work. 
Loads of small bits and pieces, trim stuff, emblems, dash plaques, body plaques, that sort of neat "small" stuff. 
Neat British dealer's body tag. 
Clean windshield washer bottle and nice bracket. 
Original dash board. 
After-market wooden dash board. 
More other stuff that I can think of. 
Best of all, a valid title for the car. 

Like to get just $500 for everything, ought to all fit in an over loaded full size pick-up truck with some careful packing. 

Have a beat-to-crap two wheel former camping trailer that I can toss in with the deal if you need more space to haul the stuff out of here. 

Everything is located on the Kingston/Pembroke line in South Coastal Massachusetts. 

Thanks—

I am very interested.  Let me see if I can get my schedule cleared up.  How soon do you need it gone?  I could pay up front if you are not in a hurry.  You can pm me to discuss more.

I remember you posted this a couple years ago. I've bit my tongue because I don't have time or space for it right now, but I haven't stopped thinking about it!

Cdowd - will you make an mga challenge car? Pretty please?

After I finish my 56.  If there are enough parts to make one why not!

I can keep the stuff for a while longer, honestly in piles in the back yard and down cellar so not in the way at all. I don't want the money up front, we're all forum friends here. Pay when you come for it or if you decide against in the end, that's no big deal.

Some really nice parts, some of the metal panels are in need of body working. I kinda think that the biggest "draw" would have to be that all of it was once a "car" and has a valid Massachusetts title in my name. As legal as can be.

I've, unfortunately, added to the pile since then. All the while thinking that I might somehow hone the skills needed to make something out of all of the parts. A "lightweight" based around all of the fiberglass panels, a drag car, a gasser, a road demon, but nothing seemed to have happened skill-wise, I just got older and cut my finger in half so that I can no longer hold anything in my left hand.

So . . . time to move on, leave the dream behind and just buy something that's fast and fun instead.
