VA 1608 Brought back to life

Hi, I have finally finished my MG VA "rebuild" it has taken just over a year to complete it as i had nearly nothing to go with and a very tight budget. We set out to make our own everything body, seats... and the result as you can see is great, even though nothing like the original but i intended to make it into a special as i admire the early racing cars.I will post more photos.Rex…See More
