First Rebuild (circa 1980/81) - Sheet Metal Work


Since every Morgan was hand made, there was no such thing as standard body parts that you could buy off the shelf. Each frame made was different one to another and the sheet metal work was unique to frame.


The scuttle was the most taxing to cover. Fortunately, there are one compound curves on a Morgan, apart from the wings, of course. But the front was still a challenge.


But got there in the end.  The bonnet halves seen leaning against against the wall in the photograph were the only original body parts used in the rebuild.  If I remember right the original front and rear wings went with FUA when she was subsequently sold in the late 80's.
