  • All major paint and rust stripping is complete, minus a few spots here and there that I want to re-do. I'll wipe/blow down everything, apply rust preventative, and then epoxy prime the body. From there, I'll transition to the fenders and such. Conceivably, I could actually paint the whole thing by the 4th of July, easily. Guess I need to start seriously thinking about the engine...

    I'm thinking of purchasing a Coupe but I'm worried about the heat inside the cab. I love my '58 roadster. I love the look of the MGA Coupe.

      They're probably as hot as any other car from the 50s. I'll be adding air conditioning to mine in time

    Have been following along and I have a question ------ I got my eye on a '58 Coupe ----- and would like to do what you are doing to yours ---- I only have pictures of the car ---- and I was looking to see what parts I may need ---- and looking at the front and the rear window seals ---- they both a really cracked ----- so in trying to get an idea of parts cost ----- I see the window seals are not out there ------ So ------ here's the question did you already pick up a set? ------ Do you have a source for buying them? ------ Thank You for sharing your work on the Coupe ------ Let me know ----- Rodney

      I don't know of a source for the seals ... it never occurred to me that they're hard to find. I usually go with Moss Motors first, and then branch out.

      I decided to call Moss and spoke to them --- and they -- DO -- have them both --- front and rear ---- One has to get them in a Bundle Package and they are on back order --- Makes me feel a lot better --- for I have a chance at getting a Coupe also ---- I wouldn't want to get the glass out and not have a source for the seals
