NASTIEST clean up we have ever done! Mom bought her dream car back after 17 years!

- In this episode my wife buys back her dream car that I sold 17 years ago. The car is a 72 MG Midget that has been parked in a storage building ever since we sold it in 2005! We did not now the condition of the car when we bought it, although it was stored inside this ended up being the worst clean up we have ever done. It ended up being infested with rats that were still living in it weeks after we initially bought it. Can we get this thing cleaned up good enough to be drivable again?

This is the most family oriented channel I know of and I think you are doing a great job with the kids.
Thank you so much
Duck
Me and my fiancé talk about that all the time we love how close this family is and everything they do they do as a family everyone of them is on there getting their hands dirty together we love that about them so much
FOR SURE!!!!!
@@danhard8440 you’ve got good ears, I had to slow down the video to hear what she said 🙁 It’s so easy to miss what our children say when their voices aren’t the loudest.
Sorry to hear about Puddin. Y’all gave her a lot of love! Love the Midget and look forward to seeing it running and driving!
Yes she had a good little life
I had some personal issues and was depressed. I tuned into your video (I am a subscriber) and seeing you, your wonderful family, and your projects made me feel so much better!! This channel is good therapy!
This is the perfect car for a full restoration , with your body shop knowledge about painting car , there's no excuse not to do it
Yeah for sure
The kids would be the envy of all the kids at school driving up in that thing fully restored.
Replacement parts for these cars are plentiful and relatively cheap.
The look on your daughters face when she figured what this car is! Yep I see this as HER CAR! It’s perfect for her first car! Yep, she was so happy! The car right now is so nasty!!😮😮😮
Yeah she really likes it
@@Sleeperdude I bet she elopes to a VW bug, U can paint one white, with a orange stripe. In Bama its white with a red stripe and houndstooth seats. Bamabug
@@Sleeperdude come on Mom and Dad, let WaWa have it. Ralph got his corvette....it's only fair.
@@Sleeperdude I’m not sure if she’s old enough to drive but it would be perfect for wawa one day.
I’m sure it’s a 1500cc
It's gonna be mommas car for a while first, lol.
'cussy slip'.....LOL !!! ya'll had me rolling with laughter........love your channel, ...love thats its clean & about family.
happy birthday to your daughter and sorry you lost one of your furry kids,,ty for the great entertainment as always, you could always call the car mini mouse lol
Thank you
Sorry to hear about puddin. The MG is great! I had a 1965 MGB as a teenager and loved it. Love the mix of revivals and trips with the family. Your channel just keeps getting better!
Thank you so much
@@Sleeperdude please get some suits.... I WORRY GUYS!!!
I'm glad no one got bit by the rat. So sorry about Puddin. Nice ramps into the garage.
Thank you
Sorry to hear about Puddin! A loss of a pet is like losing a part of the family!
My Mom bought one of these in the 80’s. We took a road trip to my Grandpa’s house. 78 miles with a family of five. There is no back seat so me and brother rode on top of convertible with our legs stuffed behind seat!
Thanks for new content! Bringing back a lot of great memories!
.
Oh my gosh I can’t tell Ralphie he will be trying to ride on the back
@@Sleeperdude I was probably Ralphie age and my brother a year and half younger! Definitely doable but not really safe!!! Yeah. Don’t tell him!
Wouldn't work legally these days, lol.
Thank you for opening your lives to us. Y’all are the most wholesome Mayberry experience on UA-cam! The good, the sad, and the nasty. I am so very sad about Puddin. 💔😭 She was so little. And so loved. I know she left a hole in your hearts. I’m so glad Rocky stepped up to shoulder the cam. It was a treat to see your wife so much in this video. I hope y’all let us follow the journey with this car and maybe we will get to see her mechanical skills! Y’all are made of tough stuff to tackle the rat poo and all!
The mastic in the sound deadening material is what saved those floors. That combined with a quality undercoating that the initial buyer paid extra for I'm sure. Possibly paid extra for the sound proofing also. I'd love to see the original invoice. I'd bet anything that it lists nearly every option that was available. My co worker that pumped gas with me at a crown gas station in Richmond Virginia Bought one just like that one except his was white. He let me borrow it for a day and I'll never forget it. It was so much fun to drive and it was summer and sunny so I has the top down the whole day. Hope you get it running because all that hard clean up work done will be well worth it for all the fun you are going to have driving it!!!!
I’m so very sorry to hear about puddin hope you all are ok. Looking forward to see this mg up and running!
Thank you we are sad about it as well
What happened to Puddin' fab shop???
@@jerrytate9394 Poor Puddin had to be put down after something bit her. So sad 😪
Mom had alot of guts!! The rat would have it for me. I screamed right along with you all!! You guys do good work, can't wait to ser all done!
That’s funny
Scootie was like waiting for that squatter aka the rat to pop up again. Cat was like y'all can deal with this this ain't in my job description
Exactly
Hi Josh. I'm a 74y/o long time retired mechanic in the uk.
That series of engine was one of the best ever produced, treat it with love and respect. Between 1960 and 1972 that engine in competition won 32 major rallies around the world, including winning the Monte Carlo rally 3 times. However, changing the Oil Filter is about the worst job on the car but, you have to do it to keep that engine good. I would rate changing the oil filter as harder than cleaning out all that rat crap. The original carb's were twin SU's, simple but brilliant and easiest ever to set up and tune. That twin Weber tells me the car was driven by an enthusiast with a heavy right foot. The rust areas on both front wings were notorious for extreme corrosion, they need a lot of love and care but the car is worthy of it. The roll bar is after-market which again points to being driven by an enthusiast. The front spoiler and amber lights below the front bumper are also after-market (unless the lights were a US spec' item). The hand brake is probably a Fly-Off for rally starts, so if it works in an unusual way don't think it's faulty. Also check carefully around the side jacking points for serious corrosion, they are a weak point. Fun fact for Mrs. Sleeperdude, Small Petrol Tank... If that engine is properly tuned, you should get at least 30mpg even from your smaller US gallon. From a UK gallon which is approx 20% more than US I would expect that engine to give approx 40mpg. She mentioned the tank was only 6 gallon but that will be UK gallons so, maybe 7½ to 8 US gallons. However with that Weber carb' the car was clearly used in a 'sporty' way so that would affect mpg. In good order that car would have been capable of over 100mph with the top down. You should have no problem finding mechanical parts but the trim, the soft top, and the tonneau cover could be difficult. You might need to get them made. The seat trim with the Tan coloured bars could well be original, they did lots of that kind of fancy trim.
Ok wow thank you for the good info
I love watching y’all so much!
Please never change.
Love the MG !!!
So awesome to see family working together like this, very, very rare nowadays, this people is what America is all about, thank you for making my day.
Thanks for watching
Hi super dude you need to name your beautiful wife car 🚗 little red express I think your wife can get the little red express to run 🏃♀️ I like 👍 the mg I would like to see you’ll drive it you and your family have a day I like you Chanel you have such a nice 👍 family that l likes to work on cars 🚗 😊
You gotta call that thing the Mighty Mouse Midget. Sorry on the loss of Puddin, hugs to all ya'll, this old man shed a tear. I hope ya get this going fairly easy. Time to get Wah Wah and Ralphie broke in on those standard transmissions :D
Who is Puddin?
Ok I found out about Puddin from the video. So sorry.
@@jerrytate9394 The young goat that died
Very sorry to hear about Puddin. Great video and I’m excited for the will it run video!
I say call it “The Red Rodent!”
That would work
Oh rats,, Y'all are seeing mice!! Nice work guys & gals! Im in stitches-😂😂😂
So, so sorry about Puddin’. I loved my babies furiously, and lost 2 like Puddin’ - I never knew what happened. You’re right - when you have animals it happens, but it’s never easy. Puddin is playing & capering with mine now. God Bless! ❤️🐐🌈
PS: enjoyed this cause my late husband & I had a ‘74 Midget (Green), ‘72 Spit & a ‘74 TR6. ALL were a blast!
Thank you. Yes these things are hard
So sorry about Pudding. As a dad to many animals, I know how it feels to lose one.
Enjoying this episode. I currently own 4 British sports cars myself. Parts availability is great! The quality of some of the parts, especially rubber bits, not so great. Prime case of you get what pay for, unfortunately.
As for a name, maybe something British, like Lily, or Elizabeth (Beth). Mine are Bartholomew (Bart), Cecil, Melvin, and Quinn (short for Harlequin because of the different colors).
It’s crazy how much the kids have changed in a year. Squeeze has definitely changed a lot. I love going back and watching the old videos. You have amazing kids. God’s continued blessings on you all.
So sorry for the loss of Puddin we will miss her in the show. Sending love and prayers to y’all. She will be missed!!
I can't get enough of the Rocky Cam. As far as names for the car go, I think "Mickey" (like the mouse) or "Puddin'" would be good. Anyway, we really enjoyed the clean up and look forward to seeing it on the road. You gotta keep Momma happy.
Yeah for sure
@@Sleeperdude What is that music you play on your videos and with Rocky Cam? Kind of catchy!
So very sad about Pudding. Just last week I showed my sister clip with Pudding as we have a little rescue blind pooch named Pudding as well.
The car is going to be fantastic when finished.
Condolences and best wishes from South Africa.
honestly i have such a hard time watching 1hr long videos but when you upload i wish they were 10 hrs long your content always keeps me hooked and wanting more with the quality vids produce and the hard work this channel will for sure skyrocket and you and your family deserve every minute of it !
Well I can't see Mom letting that MG leave for a second time - Sorry about Puddin, we all get attached to our little critters - Will stay tuned for part 2
Thank you
i got a 1971 Midget for high school graduation. loved it. miss it. glad you're saving one.
Hey josh and family I always look forward to your videos my mum recently passed away and watching your videos always puts a smile on my face keep up the great family oriented videos you guys are awesome 🙂
Oh wow sorry about your mom glad we could help
When your wife jumped and said RATTTT??? I jumped too!!! 😂🤣😅🥵👍
That’s great
Hi every one, wow, i live in UK and back in the 80s i did strip and total re-build in a round arch Midget too a year, changed the cam and exhaust man8ifold, added 2 45 Webber carbs ported the head, resprayed went really great. i had 3 in total, great little cars.
That’s awesome
I had a '79 MGB Ltd Ed.... Oh it was purdy! Spent a lot of time in the shop or on a tow truck 🤣 but I loved it! Had ski racks on the luggage rack.... 2 weeks after I sold it , burned to the ground in the guys driveway.. Someday I'll have another one. Loved that car! 😍
Oh wow
Very sorry about the loss of your pet.
Great car! I love them.
I will look for you on the MG Experience forums.
Thank you
So sorry to hear of Puddin's passing....that litterally broke my heart! Can't wait to see if and when you get the Midget running again!!!
Ralphie looked so cool sitting in the driver seat chugging on that RC it could have been a commercial, y'all are the best U tube channel all around. One day this channel will have 20 million individual viewers, guaranteed, keep it up. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Sorry for your loss He will be missed
Seriously though, I think we all need to chip in on Hazmat suits for you guys...that is CRAZIER than a Chinese Wuhan Lab!
Hahahah
Dear Daniel Holleran.
👍👌👏 Even crazier is it to clean out a rat infested car after it has been washed! I have never seen such an unlogic behaviour in all my life.
Best regards luck and health.
OMG that is funny AF best comment here
Happy Birthday Squeezy. Have a great day :) I'm so sorry to hear about puddin..Hugs to you all
Sorry here about that .was a while ago.
Just buried my 16 year old black springer spaniel, sweetest dog ever. Good memories are the thing that comforts the loss of any creature so remember those. Good luck with everything and stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Thank you and sorry about your baby
I'm so very sorry about Pudding. Do you think a copperhead may have bitten her? I'm so sorry 😢💛
I’m not sure the vet gave her a lot of med but it was very fast
Sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. Puddin was a sweet little goat. Good video. Can't wait for the next.
Yes wifey still can’t even say her name she’s so upset. Thanks for watching
I can understand. I would be lost if I lost my Maddie.
We are sorry to hear bout Puddin.She was so cute.It is awesome how you all take care of your animals
Hi guys! Sorry for your critter loss! Thanks again for the video! God Bless you all!
So sorry for your loss, puddin was so special. I will miss seeing her so I can only imagine how you guys feel. Much love to your family! Rest In Peace sweet Puddin you will be missed!
Call her Morning Glory! Also, have you ever used your super clean and magic eraser on the crazed/hazed single stage paint? It will pull all the hazing off it and shine it back up again!
For only a few years they made the MG Midget with round rear wheel wells, I think these round wheel well versions are the best looking.
Awesome thanks
That was an ambitious cleanup on the MG! Look forward to the first start and more videos from Rocky!
Can't wait for the "Will it Start" Vid. Great video as always !!
Yes thank you
So sorry to hear about Puddin'. The animals are such a big part of what makes your channel so fun and they are part of the family too. Looking forward to the next video on this car, should be a blast to drive.
I am so sorry about Puddin. She was such a sweet little thing. Scooty was so in the zone that even the vacuum wasn't scaring him. Happy birthday to Squeezy. Now to the car, that dang rat even scared me! Sweet ride tho.
I remember these from high school in the 80s in Arizona. Quite a few friends had ‘em.
Nice
What a cool car, glad the white stripe and the luggage rack are still intact.
It's going to be a great date night car for you and Tosh. I love how genuinely excited you guys get about each car, but this one was another level. Thank you for including us in your Family adventures good and bad. Sorry for the loss of puddin I could see how much it hurt the family to lose her.
Thank you again for sharing.
God Bless
I haven't seen an MG in a long time. A friend of mine drove one in high school, but that's the last time I've seen one. That's cool! Congrats to Mom on her "new" car!! 😎👍 Seeing the rat surprised me too, but I thought there would be a live one especially in all that mess....Wow! But she cleaned up really nice!! Can't wait to see it running and driving! Sad to hear about Puddin😥😥 It's tough losing a pet. R.I.P. Puddin! ❤🐐
So sorry to hear about Puddin', she was so cute. I know that they are just animals but they are family too.
Been watching you all clean up this MG and learned of poor Miss Puddin. So sorry for you and your sweet family. I had gotten right attached to Puddin too, so I can't imagine how awful it was for you all. Please accept my condolences and I hope you all have happy memories of Puddin.
Thank you

Hey Josh and family, y’all are a big inspiration on my grandson and I. We recently bought a car that is your favorite type. A 1979 Ford Pinto Station Wagon field find, been sitting for 33 years! Lots of deposits full up to the valve cover just like the MG midget…and inside too of course. Engine is stuck and we’re hoping to free it up and do our own “will it start”. Thanks for all the great family entertainment videos, we always look forward to the newest post. Keep up the great work!
So sorry to hear of y’all’s baby goat passing. The animals are always entertaining too.
I’m glad you like our channel. I do love my station wagons. Good luck with your project.
My buddy had a '75 pinto wagon, decked out, snaggin wagon when your 17! Those were the days.
I had a girlfriend that had a MG Midget... I was 6'3" 225 lbs. She was 5'4" 125 lbs. She fit perfectly in it. I looked like Mr. Potato Head when I drove with my head sticking a foot above the windscreen.. It was hilarious, but so much fun to drive in the N. GA mountains~~! Then, the next girlfriend had a Miata.. Same, same thing. Then, I bought me a Porsche 911 Carrera and life has been great... Very comfortable !! I still drive one at 70 years old. Love it !
That’s great
I think that there is an incredible supply of parts available via MG Owners Club, I believe the club in the UK have all the original tooling for producing body panels.
They even produce replacement body shells.....
Well worth getting in contact with them if you get stuck.
Ok thanks
If you look closely the rat has an MG emblem on it too 😂
Rest in peace Puddin❤
That’s funny. We miss puddin
RIP
@@Sleeperdude Her short life was a good one and thats all you can really ask for
I had the very same MG Midget while stationed at the pleasure of the USAF at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. I bought the red '72 Midget in 1976 for $1200 and it never had a heater (that's the way they were sold in Hawaii). It needed a new top so I ordered a replacement from the J.C. Whitney catalog and installed it myself. It was so cool to cruise Waikiki Beach in the evenings and drive it to the countless beaches all over the island on weekends. My wife drove it to school at the University of Hawaii. It was a lot more fun than riding "Da Bus" with 2 transfers every day. I was 6'3" and about your age and had no trouble getting into and out of it at 190lbs. I could never do that today. I really loved that little car and missed it the minute I sold it to move back to the mainland. It puts a lump in my throat to hear your kids express how much they like it.
It is Pure Cute!
PS If you watch Rebuild Rescue on YT you will see an airplane that was rescued recently with just as much nesting in it as this car. Created by birds in about the same amount of time.
I cannot wait to watch this project progress. Please make a whole series of this.
Great video !! Love the mg and can not wait to see more!
Thanks
I was born and bought up just a few miles from the MG factory in Abingdon Oxfordshire , a friend did an apprenticeship there , shame production ended in the early 80s, the engine is a BMC A series been around since 1951 until year 2000, could be either a 1275cc or 1500cc , originally fitted with twin S.U carbs ,very simple engines easy to work on .....♥ from the UK .
Thank you for the info
Godspeed Puddin, rest in peace little one ! You're great people, we know that you did all you could for Puddin. Lots of thoughts from Switzerland
Wow, that was (sorta still is) a large undertaking.
Sooooooo very sorry about Dear Little Puddin' ❤
Thank you
Sorry hear about Puddin. Enjoyed Puddin cam. Another great video! Can't wait to see mama drive that MG!
That evil laugh after "I bet there ain't no snakes in here..."
So sorry that you all lost Puddin.
Sending my condolences.
Another great adventure in rust,rats and dirt!
My name suggestion:
"Queenie"
Consider naming the car Pudding? In her honor. I’m sorry for your loss, it’s never easy losing a animal you consider part of your family.
Red pudding is famous in Scotland. It’s a meat pudding.
Yeah that’s a good idea. Not sure if mom can do that she’s still having a hard time
Im so sorry to hear about Puddin ☹ My Prayers are with you all pray 🙏
Thank you wifey is very upset
Aww poor pudding !! That made me tear up. I love animals. All types. Sad when our furry creatures leave us. Keep doing what you do and hugs to momma I can see she was emotional over lil pudding.
Yeah she had a terrible time with pudding it was so sad
I saw that as she turned away from the camera. I lost Rudy about 3+ years ago (cat) and still miss him. He was very sick and I gave him lots of care and TLC And he made it to 11 1/2. Vet was amazed as at around 5+ he wasn’t doing well. Had an operation done that he needed and nursed him along the last 6 years of his life. I have Tom n Jerry now they’re brothers. Sweet cats but Rudy was special. Rocky has a spot in my heart too!! He’s awesome
Its good to see you getting some work out of mom on the the little car. Love your videos keep up the good work
Exactly
Sorry for loss of Puddin 😢 prayers to you and your family.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 nice family you have there Josh!!!
Wonder if sleeper and fam is going to upload? Then I got the notification! We love watching you all.
Awesome thank you
I love how you all work and play so well together. that is one of the main reasons i get excited when you post new videos not only too what car you have saved from being sent to the bone yard, but to watch you all have fun.
Thank you
Loved this! RIP Puddin 🙏🏻
Thank you
This was gold. I can't wait to see you get it going again. Ralphie gonna get to do some ultrasonic cleaning hopefully
Love the "will it start" videos. We're sorry to hear of the goat passing. Very good chance it was something eaten. We would suggest you do a search of property for wild parsnip, lost one ourselves due to that.
I feel so sad about the loss of Puddin. Such a sweet little one. The loss of an animal always leaves a hole in your heart. I would name the car after her memory. This is an MG Puddin.
Man a very nasty car for sure but the engine bay cleaned up really well. You are right about removing the finders to save them and maybe the frame. Looking forward to hearing it run. Thanks for all the videos.
Its rough to lose a pet but yall give all the animals such a good life with lots of love and family togetherness.. just know she was loved and taken good care of and certainly had minimal suffering,
Thank you
Happy birthday Sissy 😄 sorry to hear about Puddin 😔 you should name the MG after her because it’s small and cute 😁👍love everything about your channel.. awesome job guys 🤙
My kiddos and I love watching you guys!!! Happy Birthday Squeezy from all of us!!
Love this channel, really enjoy seeing you all working together as a family. Really sorry to hear about little puddin :( ❤from England
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude I commend you both on raising your young'n 👍 they're not affraid to get right in and help or get dirty.
We enjoyed the video alot as usual. We were also very saddened to hear of Puddins passing. Our thoughts go out to your family as we consider our pets family members and losing one is hard. Keep up the good work and try to keep Rocky in line.
Love your MG. Had a Truumph spitfire, 76. The trunk could be repaired by Duro rust killer. You pour it on then spread it with a brush. In 24 hours it binds the rust and fills holes. I used it on my 43 mil jeep, works very well, is drollable and paintable. Hope you get it on the road.
Ok great thank you
I love this channel and how the whole family is involved. Truly awesome! We try to do the same. Love the MG's can't wait to see more!! Very sorry about Puddin!!
Thank you we are blessed
😢 I’m so sorry to hear about pudden and he will be missed in the videos. On the other hand love the car and love how excited everyone is about this car looks like a full restore is in order lol but for real so sorry for your lose
As a Brit it makes a nice change to see a British car on the channel. I had a 1974 MGBGT back in the late '90s and used it as a daily driver.
RIP puddin’ will be missed by your fan club.
Thank you
This looks fun but can't wait to see the red dragmont I think that the evolution of that thing and videos at the drag strip will really be awesome, thanks for all you guys do 👍👌
Yes for sure
I do believe the rat ran back to find its family?
Might want to put a rat trap out or put one in the car he might still come back to the car even that it's clean
...❤ the Midget!...if any project is worthy of "money pit" designation, this is IT!...great "sweat equity" clean-up footage, too; gives good info to those who want to tackle resto jobs on vehicles...will miss Puddin'; RIP little fella...
Why you guys washed the car before cleaning out those rats nests is beyond me. You guys do a great job together.
I love the little MG. Happy birthday Squeezy. Sorry about Puddin.
Thank you. Yes it was hard
Name: Lady Bug.
Check all your front end bolts for torque. My nephew had a Midget ... one bolt either broke or got loose and came out, which disabled the car enough to have a wrecker bring it home.
I'm so sorry about Puddin. My deepest condolences for your loss. Can't wait to see and hear that little MG Midget run. God bless you all luv u 🌈
PS Love the Rocky Cam!!!
Being from the UK,I can say that the spoiler is definitely not a factory fitted part!lol Parts for these are very easy to get hold of and there are plenty of suppliers that will ship to the states. Looks to be in reasonable condition rust wise.
Ok thank you I thought so
😢 poor baby!! At least you both were with her at the end.. So sorry for the loss ❤️🩹
So sorry to hear about Puddin, I know it is very hard to lose a pet.
The MG is so cool it looks like a very fun car to work on! Can you get a smaller vac hose down in the inner fender wells maybe you can suck the junk out? The Rocky cam is fun to watch, maybe Granny or Vienna can try it sometime!!
Thank you
The MG is so small it made that rat look big, you need to man up Sleeper dude and face your snakey, ratty, micey demons lol. All the best fro the UK and these MG's are great fun to drive, they don;t have a lot of power but you feel like your doing a 100 when your doing 40.
Thank you
