Thread: 51 MG restoration.

One thing I have learned, Mike. Don't toss any old parts.
They might come in handy someday.

Amen. Tosssing lots of newer old stuff to make the space required for this toy and all her accessories required.
Might strip the seat heater pads out of a spare set of vw seats and retrofit them to the MG.
Heated ass would be nice on damp drives. Stripping the old vw stuff as I won’t be doing a lot more on the Corrado going forward. May not actually get the nerve to sell it, but drive her till she don’t anymore sounds like fun..

Street legal and plated!
Spent last night dialing in the carbs and timing until I had her just where I wanted her.
Took her out for a 4 hr tour into Malton to get the cert done and she’s good to go gents,


Such a great stance and off the line gumption. Who cares if 75 mph is the top of the curve. So much fun getting there.
Here’s to a fun summer of cruising men.
Next big updates will be in the fall for the complete tear down and paint job.

Very cool, Mike. I see the new plate sez 'ceya'!
Hope you have better luck with body/paint shops than I do.
I might just leave it be!

Oh. I suppose you will do all that yourself!

I hope to Tom. If I can find a shop that will let me in.
Need a proper booth for the painting so may see if I can work out a deal with a local shop..
Reasonable rent and some help along the way..
Will look as good as it should once repainted. Very tired looking ATM with a few scars.

Had to go with a new plate to transfer everything over. Will switch over to the 51 plate this winter as well.
I do like that it says ceya though! May keep it for the next regular car next year.

Great job Mike. Glad she runs well. I can see many hours crusin around coming your way!

Beautiful car, and congrats on the outcome of your work, but be careful with your phrasing...
