Looks can be deceiving. At first glance I thought this little M.G. was in too good for a restoration. That was until I touched it! It had a sticky invisible veneer across the front and top, while the real horror lie underneath. The base, incorporating the grille and bumpers, was suffering some weathering. It had degraded quite badly, and so my main focus was on getting that grille shining proudly. The paintwork looked decent from afar, but had chipped leaving red marks in places, so that had to go. Otherwise, it was in complete condition, with the tow hook, windscreen, driver and of course dog all present and correct.

Hopefully this series will track my progress and aid me becoming a better modeller. There are plenty more videos to come and I have a big selection to choose from for future restorations. Please like and subscribe to be informed of new content first.
