Thread: 51 MG restoration.

Maybe for Christmas she will get eyelashes, high lights for the holidays.
I swapped the LEDs upside down and the beams are much better. Will be easy to dial these in I think.
Also got the tails, and runners going, turns and brake lights tested as well.


On to the running boards and treads. But getting closer and closer.
Cheers.

Dang….those walls are creeping in…lol

No kidding. I have maybe 2’ on either side of her left.
Partly why all the canvas work is goin to wait till the car is mobile.
A, can’t wait to test drive her.
B, have to clean out the garage before I go crazy!

Once she’s running, I can start pitchin stuff I’ve kept just in case needed. A few dump runs and maybe I’ll pour a new epoxy floor down in the garage while I’m at it.
Give Noddy a proper bay.

That Mike!
A Canuck junkyard dawg!

I think, like most of us on here, my definition between used, and used up is pretty wide a gap compared to most, hehe. So yup,I’m a collector of things with mileage..
But I do toss stuff once I’m done, and that purge is a comin!!!

A bit of fussy trim work to get the ends tapered nicely, but fussy only once..


Should protect the paint from boots, a little..

Thats nice work. They look great.

Nice! Now you can ride on the running boards with a Thompson just like Clyde Barrow used to do!

Thanks gents, like putting the taper on a wedge, only rubber..

Really finishes the running boards off nicely.
Moving on to the final install of the ebrake and license plate light, then the exterior door hardware next.
Final check on the rear end, and install the fuel filter and final leg of the fuel system.
Few more steps, then fire in da hole!

Don’t need em, but I bought em, so I installed em, and I like em.
Badge bar doubles as a fog light bar so figured wtf!

Really loving the look as she all comes together..
Will almost be a shame to put the bumpers back on..
