MGA as found at 100 mile house

I found my MGA restoration project car sitting in a field at 100 Mile House, British Columbia, Canada in July, 2003. I thought I would be driving it in two years. Now, four years later, it is not finished. Perhaps in another two years?

This is what it looked like when found.

Here it is in my garage in Chilliwack being dismantled. The fenders are off.
I never expected there to be this much RUST! At last, the body is off. This took about six months. The engine is out.

This is the front frame extension, very rusty. Then sandblasted and painted, ready to bolt onto the frame.
