Wanted: Pair of MGA front fenders . . . maybe?

OK, WAY off topic or whatever, but . . .

I need a pair of front fenders for my MGA and figured that it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone here either had or knew of a pair up for sale. I can repair wrecked or rusted as long as there's enough left to work with. Fiberglass fenders would be even better for a guy like me, but anything could work.

Nothing has turned up on Ebay lately, and what has won't be shipped by the seller.

Just wondering if . . .

Thanks !

TC

Haven't heard anyone here say anything about owning all or part of an MGA. You'll probably have better luck on MG Experience.

I have two of these such fenders plus several more. Some metal, some fiberglass even a few in carbon fiber. Plus many other MGA parts some of which have been meticulously drilled, polished, painted or somehow made different from their original. I will post a list of these parts over the next several weeks when I get around to it, all along hoping that someone at the last minute will offer me a package price for the whole shebang at which point they won't be available to you. Sorry, TC. So there.

worth a shot

Ha!

"Sorry, TC. So there."

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ! ! ! ! !

Terrific ! ! ! ! ! !

No wonder I keep hanging around here even though I haven't a Speedster, Porsche, or any more parts. It's WAY more fun than anywhere else ! ! !

OK, fun guy........

Have you tried these folks?

I wouldn't bother emailing her - just give her a call and see what she's got. I used to get a few Healey parts there and, while parking near the store is a pain, her prices are usually really good AND she might have a lead on some used fenders for a cheapskate kinda guy.

Well played Rich!

That package price offer I was going to get appears to have fallen through. Stay tuned for picture postings of said MGA items when I get around to it. AND I believe I found a fur lined passenger door interior panel-hardware missing. I'm checking on the origin of the fur. Back to you soon. While I was researching the fur, I stumbled onto this fairly recent post:http://www.mgexperience.net/archive/MGA_front_fenders_FS_PRICE_REDUCED/1917729

CLASSIC!
Thanks for starting my day with a good laugh.

C'mon TC, beg for your medicine. You know you need the fur-lined door panel too (sorry, no matching pair).

Sorry, TC. So there." Bwaaaahahhahahahaha!

I've seen a lot of fenders in the $800 a pair range, but that's nuts. Everyone asking but nobody buying. I'll wait for the Spring and see what comes my way.

With Massachusetts valuing the car at $32,000 and a 6.25 sales tax on that to be paid in order to secure a title. I'm gonna have a huge cash outlay coming up soon, rather not run this wreck up too high with two four hundred dollar fenders if I can help it.

No luck with Scarboro.


Of course, I could always do a trade.


I have, in a box, all wrapped up and ready to ship:

One 356 120mph Speedo, perfect bezel, glass, face, rubber trim ring, and needle. Internals swapped over to those from a newer 914 Porsche. Works and looks BEAUTIFUL ! !

One 356 Combination Gauge, perfect bezel, glass, face, rubber trim ring, and needle. Internals swapped over to 914 12 volt oil temp and fuel gauge. Works and looks PERFECT and a nice match to the 356 Speedo.

If anyone turns up a pair of rusted fenders (more the $300/$400 for a pair, than the $800 a pair variety) I'll swap you for these two terrific gauges.

NOW, before anyone pulls their panties over their heads and starts twirling around in circles, lemme explain that the 356 Boys passed on these because they were converted/updated with 914 internals. No bullshit, no being an ass, they just didn't want altered parts/converted/updated parts and weren't the types to return the gauges to original.

These gauges are REALLY sweet, meant for my own car, rare and pricey, but I need fenders more than gauges just now.

So, trade? Lemme know.

Damn. Guess Ill never see the $$$ i put into converting my original gauges back in my pocket. TC, Im close to Frederick. If you strike a deal with that guy on craigslist and he isnt willing to ship ill pick them up for you. Let me know.

But they took the parts with holes drilled through them?

Those are for Cory. He asked for them WAY early on and I can't refuse him anything.

I boxed and loaded the pieces that escaped my drill bit, but Cory has always been enamored with that look, ever since we found the picture of the drilled and body painted door handles almost three years ago.

Thanks, TC. They're gonna be PISSA!

Well, I'm glad one of us got those...they are sweet!
