and now its mine. Just had it rebuilt by 101 and what a great car!

the top-down view was quality ++ loved the outro

Great video. I like the time-lapse that shows you doing the work.

Great work! are you also spraying a sandable pimer? My sequence is body work/ filler & sand / epoxy primer/ sandable primer (maybe 2-3 steps / epoxy primer / color / clear coat / wet sanding / buffing

Coming right along! Have you chosen a finish colour? Will it be a factor original car number matched, or something of your choosing

Where do you get parts for that engine, I have a Nash metropolitan 1500 and is the same engine but is hard to get the small parts

One of my top 3 British sports cars, love the styling of the MGA, would love to rescue a wreck and do a Resto-mod, that would fit in nicely with a XK140 and a Morgan Aero.

just found your channel i will be watching i have a 60 coupe i need to start on .Bill USA

Hi What a task!. You are doing well. I have a 60 1600 Mk1 which was restored about thirty years ago. I did some work on the engine and it now goes twice as well as it should. John Twist says an MGA has curves in places where other cars don't have places!. It is one of the most difficult cars to do bodywork on.

Thanks for the update. I've been watching Junk's Automotive UA-cam channel recently as he's working on an MGA roadster and is into the body work on that one. Might be worth your time to take a quick look as he's at the same satage as you. He's using a thick primer to assist with the subtle panel imperfections.

Very helpful thank you,

Love it

You gave me a good idea there !!! Great Job & a Happy New Year. Thx 4 posting. And now off to the garden in order to scavenge some poles, I know I will find some -)

This is a thing of beauty, such a great pakage

Wow! I thought the MGA I’m working on was bad ...

Great job. The most difficult part on the car for alignment. Mine is good one side and bad the other. It is always the bottom rear of the door which causes issues. As John Twist says in america. " MGAs have curves in places most cars don't have places". Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing! It’s a wonderful thing seeing a relatively rare MGA coming back to life…glad it has survived the dreaded tin worm!!

I'd almost given up hope you'd get back to the MGA.

I'm glad to see what the lower wind screen channel looks like. I have a 1959 coup& need to replace the entire front clip. I still don't know what problems I will have when I get there .the view I got from you was helpful, so thank you for that.

I done the same brother cost me 485 all in bought a cheap second hand scott bike bought the kit cheap of gumtree laughing now 35mph flying pal haha 😂😅save the petrol now 💯👊

When fitting a new cassette I renew the chain

what brand of kit is this.

Manual choke standard on Brazilian buses.

What does your son think of it. You should've made a video of him riding it for the first time.

it always takes about five times longer the first time.... good news, bad news: the good news is that it will go much smoother and faster the next time. the bad news is that that for most of us there will never be a next time. :(

Well done Al, you clever boy

Quality series!

Hi mate. Good timing on your brakes! Ive got drums all round with dual circuit but last time driving the brakes seem to have gone off somewhat. There’s definitely still some braking there but they are definitely worse than they were. Any thoughts?

Nice one, great to see it running

Hi mate, great vids. Got a brazilian splitty too, a 69. where did you get the parts from for the gear shaft and bushes?

Thoughtful of them to include the thin spanner. You could do with some Jokr wrenches too - wonder where you could get them? 😂

those nylock nuts are a real PITA, in that one must hold the head of the bolt tightly with something, otherwise the nut is impossible to tighten. used to be that sometimes one could get lucky and tighten a regular nut down by hand to the point where friction alone would hold the bolt tight. and the tighter one tightened the nut the more friction was created resulting in even LESS reason to hole the bolt head.... no more!, damnit!

UGH! REALLY? Ohh dear, ohh deary me.

checked website super expensive compared to other websites. great build have fun

I apappreciate your videos very similar to the condition my mga roadster is in its my first car project so I appreciate all information I subscribed to your channel 😊

Hi Al, I used a lydl angle grinder, £18-99 with scotchbrite pads on my healey. Very effective in cleaning up and no chemicals. I will then use epoxy primer which i have found to be brilliant, (no acid etch) and away from there. Hope this helps. I have an MGA identical to yours.

any links to the seller in China

do these kits come with a 12 months warranty

I did a Austin healey 3000 customer wonted the same finish on underside of car as the wings and bonnet so car was totally shotblaster with broken glass then seal with epoxy primer put into booth and then resealed every joint and another coat of epoxy followed by 4 coats of thinned rapter wet on wet primer and sprayed out in body color and lacquer I have a wee video of it on youtude look up austin healey 3000 respray

Great job. I have exactly the same car in red. It started out as dove grey. Interested in your process as i am doing a big healey. Will follow closely. I tweeked the engine up and it made a huge difference in performance. Let me know if you are interested in the spec.

I just found your channel and subscribed. The engine video showed up on the recommended list on UA-cam. I have a 1958 MGA roadster that I have been ignoring for too long. A combination of lack of money and or time and other stuff that needs doing yesterday. I took it off the road 49 years ago because of frame rust, kept it in buildings or under cover until 2007, it has been outside since, now it is a mess. I've watched a lot of rebuild videos, time to fix my car. You all have encouraged me to make room in the garage and get to work. What else is retirement for? I am the third owner of mine, it came with the owner and workshop manuals and the original bill of sale. That will be a good looking coupe, stay with it!

Did you learn to weld doing this or did you know how already?

So glad I found this. I start restoring a 1960 Coupe this year.

Wow!!! What a great ride!!

Looks great congratulations on the milestone 👍

How much did u pay for kit

Nice!!

Really good job, patience pays off.
