When I was a kid ,15 or 16 years old, I read a book called “The little red car”. It was about a red MG TD. It warped my brain. Now some 65 or so years later I have had some interesting cars, but still have the itch for “The little red car”. Thank you for reminding me of that itch. Maybe some day…..
In the top 5 of my all time favorite cars. As a kid at the age of about 5 or 6, my neighbor had one identical to this and would take me for rides. Probably introduced me to my 71-year love of cars. 😍 Thanks for sharing the video and bringing this car back to life, as well as some great memories. 👍
Out of all of your videos I have watched, and that would be 99% of them, this is truly your finest hour. The car is gorgeous, it sounds amazing and looks like it drives beautifully. I'm envious. What could be better than driving down a country lane, in the glorious colors of fall in a '53 MG? Life at it's best! Congrats Mustie, it was worth the effort.
Hi D. Hard to believe that you took a dusty rusty old car and finished with an absolutely beautiful car. Very awesome job!! I can see you and Mrs Mustie cruising in the summer with the top down!! Thanks again for all of the hard work that you do and bringing us along!! 😊😊😊Darren
For years my Dad's dream car was what he called a "squareback" MG - 1952. IDK why he liked it... but it was one of those dream things he always put on his Christmas Wish list when he was teaching us kids to make a wish list for Christmas. So one day, I came across a kit car - a 1952 squaareback MG... powered by Volkswagon. I got it running when he entered hospice and he was able to amble it around the parking lot before he passed. Getting it tagged was going to take a whole lot more money and time... and we just didn't have it. Still... it was just a kit car and didn't have the MG motor - so THIS is cool to see. I don't know if I like the car, really... maybe I'll be able to make up my mind as you get this one back up to snuff.
Good morning, Mustie 1 fans, from Winnipeg, Canada ! Love this series, and the way the car turned out ! The Tank Twister 2000 worked great, but glad I didn't have to listen to it ! Thanks for the great series, that car is meant for Sunday afternoon cruises through the leaves of fall, for sure. All you need is one of those British driving caps !
Those are really fun old cars to drive. Obviously you got a great deal on it. I had a friend with one and heading out off state the rear diff self destructed after 100 miles. This was in the 70's when parts were available and I procured a replacement. Armed with a tool box, jack stands and replacement diff, he dropped me at the car and left the state. A few hours later I drove back home and had the use of the TD for over a week. Lots of fun.
I accidentally came across buddies video last week and watched him detailing it, and it turned out nice. A friend of mine collects these old English cars, and he would love to have this one. He's got one from the late 30's.
That really looks nice! I turned 66 today. Slept late, had a nice mug of coffee and watched a Mustie1 video. so far it's a great day! It reminded me of my dad's 49 Triumph roadster 2000.
She's a Beaut Mustie! I once owned a 1967 MG Midget, she had one thing that yours does not. She had genuine spoke wheel knock-offs and came with a cool brass mallet for breaking the knock-off wing-nuts loose. Same color as yours! Why oh why did I sell her?! The automotive mistakes of our youth, eh Mustie?!
Something to be proud of. I'm 45 so that thing was parked as long as I have been a thing. I love seeing these old cars come back to life and get a New life.
That thing is gorgeous. You did an amazing job both cosmetically and mechanically! I'm on the other side of the country from you but if I was into this car, I would crawl on my hands and knees over the Cascades over the Rockies all the way to the east coast to find it!
What a wonderful result with you hard work on the MG I just love your videos I don't comment very often have been following you for many years great result great video best regards Andy Allen.
Hi Mustie, many years ago when I was just a kid(17) I worked I a hotel in Woodstock England, and one of my jobs was burnishing all the silver ware in a burnishing machine which used ballbearings and a cleaning agent it worked fantastically well!
My 1960 Triumph Herrald speedo used to do the same,...although it only jumped about ten mile an hour from actual speed and only once you got to about 45mph. And even though that car only did about 68 flat out,...I absolutely loved it.
Felt like i was watching all creatures great and small when you were driving its a British show from back in the day put a smile on my face ty sir and god bless you
Hello Mustie, very nice car. Great job restoring it back to road worthy operation. I noticed that the speedometer needle was jumping around a bit, I had the same problem with my 62 econoline, I loosen the speedometer cable on the back of the speedometer just a bit and it corrected the problem. Just a suggestion, but it did work for me. Again great car and nice job. Take care. 👍
my grandpa had one of these but it was green. as i was watching this video i kept remembering the 2 of us driving around the countryside in it in the summer with top down. we lived about 10 miles from them and he and grandma would drive over and always ended up going for long rides just to no where and having fun. he was a huge vw fan and his other cars were vw's but he had this one MG.
Wow, you're a genius. That tank agitator is brilliant. And Brian is an artist. I never thought it would clean up that pretty. I'd like to see how that steering wheel got wrapped. I do like the speed-up video, it looks like the Isle of Man TT. Flip it next year and go back and get that other MG!
Darren, the little MG looks and runs amazingly well. What a beautiful classic car. I sure would like to pull up at the checkpoint at work in this little thing. Would some heads for sure. It suits you!! ❤❤❤
It's beautiful, you've done a phenomenal job and I know just how great you felt while driving that beautiful machine. Awesome show thank you. Just amazing.
Go back and get that nice MGA...... Enjoy your videos and admire your trouble shooting skills and adapting to fixing it. I've learned quite a few tricks from you. Always look forward to Sunday mornings watching your new videos.
Dear Mustie, list this on Bring a Trailer. I auctioned a 1966 Mercedes convertible, that I had for 18 years, 5 years ago, and was gob smacked at the end. People from everywhere look at BaT. With your vids and their assistance you will not be disappointed when the final bid comes in. I personally was clutching my chest at the end of my auction. My car ended up in Vienna Austria.
Your gas tank cleaning rig reminded me of and got me thinking about all the other weird 5h!t you've done that usually works out very well like the wax toilet ring rust treatment for Crusty, custom bike builds, the Huffy Dragster etc. It's why I keep coming back to watch. I'm not sure why you don't have millions of subscribers.
My favorite time of year to drive my 59 bugeye fall colors burning leaves. Cold air on my face stocking cap and skidding thru intersections with gerling brakes love it!
When I was a kid ,15 or 16 years old, I read a book called “The little red car”. It was about a red MG TD. It warped my brain. Now some 65 or so years later I have had some interesting cars, but still have the itch for “The little red car”. Thank you for reminding me of that itch. Maybe some day…..
Read the same book…still have the book today.
I read that book as well. It was actually called Red Car and it was about an MG TC not a TD but not much difference.
I read it as well
I read that book when I was a kid. One of my favorite books from my youth.

the glorious colors of fall, in New England.
Very nice comment and I agree this car is a keeper
What effort? It’s Mustie!
Next time, he needs to do it with one hand tied behind his back. 😂
You've got an absolute gem. She is BEEEAUOOOTIFUL! That is a car that I'm sure any collector would love to have.
I bet he keeps it. Have always loved that old classic bodystyle
I love the way you wrapped the steering wheel, looks amazing!
thanks
Brian does such a good job bringing paint back to life. Nice job on this one Mustie
Yes! I originally thought the color was almost ugly, not realizing how it would be transformed by a good polishing. Now it's a proper red, gorgeous.
The paint rejuvenated way better than I expected. The tank cleaner did excellent work.
Hi D. Hard to believe that you took a dusty rusty old car and finished with an absolutely beautiful car. Very awesome job!! I can see you and Mrs Mustie cruising in the summer with the top down!! Thanks again for all of the hard work that you do and bringing us along!! 😊😊😊Darren

Neat old car! All those people you’re passing are looking and thinking, “How cool is that!”.
Sounds awesome, tooling around those narrow tree lined country roads in fall.
Barn find of the century! Congrats & great job. Not jealous at all...
It’s been a minute since we sped through the tree-lined roads in your neck of the woods-loved it! “She’s a beaut’ Clark”! 🤣😂🤣❤️🔧✌🏻
A friend of mine in high school, 1967, had one as a daily driver. It was a fun little car to drive around in. Great video
Didn’t I see that car in the movie “ love story”?
wow.. the inside of that tank looks AMAZING!
Good morning, Mustie 1 fans, from Winnipeg, Canada ! Love this series, and the way the car turned out ! The Tank Twister 2000 worked great, but glad I didn't have to listen to it !

Gorgeous car! So happy for you that there were no major problems. Thanks for sharing.
That was my dream car when I was little. Mind you I still like them. Great job, well done.
Beautifully done, in my youth a guy living in my neighbourhood made replica’s of this car.
She is a beauty. So glad she found her way into your hands. Thanks for sharing her journey with us.
Absolutely Amazing, Great to see you brought it back to life 😀. She looks stunning. Thank you for posting 😀
Once again Darren thank you for another great Sunday morning sippin coffee watching your vids !!! Your the best
Great job, beautiful old British car.
✝️🇬🇧🐾
I accidentally came across buddies video last week and watched him detailing it, and it turned out nice. A friend of mine collects these old English cars, and he would love to have this one. He's got one from the late 30's.
Beautiful car. Thanks for putting all of the videos together.
Mustie1, Another Classic resurected! You did a great job putting her back in running shape and Brian on the spit polish! Thanks
Awesome job on getting the old MG looking and running great and back on the road!! Thanks for the “ride” Mustie!
Can't believe we just past Halloween and now changing back an hour to watch Mustue 1 finish off this beauty 😊😊😊
A very,very nice little car. Definitely a well preserved piece of automotive history. Great job Mustie!
Spectacular. That thing looks good on you, Mustie. Stolen goods! Now find some twisty turnies. Shiny side up!
Thank the world for a mustie upload on Sunday morning
Looks great. What a fun Sunday driver
As Sleeperdude would say, that's a mighty fine auctioneer speedometer you got there. 40, 45, 35, 45, 40, 60, 50, 55 🤣
That really looks nice! I turned 66 today. Slept late, had a nice mug of coffee and watched a Mustie1 video. so far it's a great day!
It reminded me of my dad's 49 Triumph roadster 2000.
Very nice old MG you wound up with.....takes me back to my childhood on the Canadian West Coast where English cars were everywhere....
Once again, thanks for the smiles.
It’s a credit to a guy with your talent loved it ❤
She's a Beaut Mustie! I once owned a 1967 MG Midget, she had one thing that yours does not. She had genuine spoke wheel knock-offs and came with a cool brass mallet for breaking the knock-off wing-nuts loose. Same color as yours! Why oh why did I sell her?! The automotive mistakes of our youth, eh Mustie?!
I had the 1971 MGB. Spoke wheels too. I probably would be unable to get out of it now….lol
@@Inisfad LOL You and Me both!
I read this and thought you were going to mention a 25 year old in the passenger seat! Old George Jones song!
@@thewayidoit8895 Dammit! Now I have to search George Jones songs. lol
@Bob-Whiting "The one I loved back then" also called "The Corvette Song"
Man people must have been queueing to wait for the download today. Another Sunday is complete now that I can relax with Mustie one content.
Gorgeous car. Got the TLC it deserved, from the best person(s).
I really, really love this channel.
This is by far the best project you've ever done. I love the old MG!
Something to be proud of. I'm 45 so that thing was parked as long as I have been a thing. I love seeing these old cars come back to life and get a New life.
So nice color when it was polish on so fantastic car. And what a wery god drive sound from a double carb. See from to your next video Mustie1.
That turned out beautiful! I think you really need to take Mrs. Mustie for a ride in it. She'll love it! 😊
Great job, thanks for including us in your projects
That’s just pure classic and it didn’t sound like she skipped a beat. They have such beautiful lines.
Those old British cars always sound so freaking good 👍 yall did a great job bringing this one back to life
Well done. I suspect that Mrs Darren might be impressed with this. A fall ride is in order.
Nice to see it being kept mostly original,she only needs what she needs 😊
Just needs black tyres!
That thing is gorgeous. You did an amazing job both cosmetically and mechanically! I'm on the other side of the country from you but if I was into this car, I would crawl on my hands and knees over the Cascades over the Rockies all the way to the east coast to find it!
I love this series. I had a 71 MGB so very sentimental. They’re not built for comfort but built for smiles. More smile per mile.
What a wonderful result with you hard work on the MG I just love your videos I don't comment very often have been following you for many years great result great video best regards Andy Allen.
It looks great...glad that you got it going again!
I like that little white MG with the rounded corners...very nice :)
That turned out great! What a beautiful old car.
The tank cleaned up nicely.❤
Who else moves their head around to see inside rusty gas tanks when he shows us down inside like we are actually there?
Hi Mustie, many years ago when I was just a kid(17) I worked I a hotel in Woodstock England, and one of my jobs was burnishing all the silver ware in a burnishing machine which used ballbearings and a cleaning agent it worked fantastically well!
Turned out beautiful, one of my favorites.
Awesome work Mustie, and Brian.
Beautiful car

What a great looking car. 😊 It's been many years since I have had to deal with a speedometer doing that...
Thank you for the ride!
Your gas tank machine has inspired me to build one for cleaning motorcycle tanks, I probably already have the junk laying around to build one
Thanks for the ride !! Nice car though. I had 2 British cars growing up. A 1958 Austin Westminster A 95 and a 1966 Austin 1100.
Congratulations on having a cool old car, Mustie!
The paint work restoration was impressive such a stunning MG colour
She looks gorgeous with her make up done.
Great job Darren getting this one back on the road again for many more enjoyable miles to come ❤
Thank you so much for the footage of running it around. It was very enjoyable to watch and listen to it.
Nice job Mustie always loved this style of MG and this little gem is a beauty.
Hello Mustie, very nice car. Great job restoring it back to road worthy operation. I noticed that the speedometer needle was jumping around a bit, I had the same problem with my 62 econoline, I loosen the speedometer cable on the back of the speedometer just a bit and it corrected the problem.

Love the car you did a beautiful job. ❤❤❤❤❤
Go back and get that nice MGA...... Enjoy your videos and admire your trouble shooting skills and adapting to fixing it. I've learned quite a few tricks from you. Always look forward to Sunday mornings watching your new videos.
I always loved these cars I'm blown away how far and nice you made this awesome pice of history.
I remember when cars used a mechanical speedometer cable. When it bound up, the Guage would fly everywhere!
Great job on the "restoration" musty!
Coating the cable in petroleum jelly usually fixes most of that unless the housing gets kinked
that or the gears are worn or misaligned.
such a cool car, your fortunate to have it.
Good afternoon from Liverpool. I love Mustie Sunday.🔧👍🇬🇧
Great job and keeping it looking origional
An extra hour of sleep makes this even better.
That car deserved the Mustie treatment, very nicely done. It's a stunner.
Very nicely done sir

She turned out super nice! That tank tumbler saved a ton of work for you!
Oh Mustie my dream car, what a belter!!!
Superb restoration of this classic British sports car.
Well done lad!!
Congratulations Mustie. Well done!
My favorite time of year to drive my 59 bugeye
fall colors burning leaves. Cold air on my face stocking cap and skidding thru intersections with gerling brakes love it!
Proper car. Needs driving. Nice one Mustie!
A true classic car and amazingly beautiful. Well done.
Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Love the sound of those twin SU carbys ! A well deserved result for a real car enthusiast, your hard work pays off.
