Thread: 51 MG restoration.

Noddy looks so beautiful

Hell yeah.!

Wow, that black top looks snappy with the black fenders. Really sharp.

Thanks, I’m really happy with the look as well.
Another all dayer today. Frames had to be straightened for the windows, as well as rewelded in spots but dialed in.
Doors have adjustable height insets that set the frame. So it’s all about parallel lines to the hood.

Then a real use for my 50lb rare earth magnets holding everything true to dot up for the holes.

And on to punching the holes.

And adding the hidden hardware to the outside trim strips.

Then carefully remove the canvas protecting the windows.

Install them and be a little closer to a finished car!

Yeah, really digging the two tone effect! Even with the top up!
On to the replaceable rear snap install along the back, and maybe the tonneau tomorrow if the tires and exhaust are still shipping.
Cheers gents

Snaps installed along the rear. Read on a mg page that some did this to make it easier to get in the boot when the top is up, also makes for a cleaner rear line when the top is down and the tonneau is on.

And got the tonneau installed today as well! But it needs a wash being used. But it’s in great shape!
It uses lift the dot posts to secure it as opposed to snaps.



Only thing left to install are the racing screens, and the third brake light mod, but all the really critical, in your face forever if f—ked up items are successfully installed.
A big day indeed!
Tires will be ready for install in the am, then just waiting on the exhaust system.

I think I would refuse to do this.
