  • Watch as we tackle the body assembly and bolt restoration process of restoring an MGA. Learn how to bring new life to rusty bolts and put together the pieces of this classic car! With all the MGA inner panels painted, we can put them back on! But first, we have to restore our crusty bolts and do some prep work! #mg #mga #restoration #autobodywork #paint Email me: junkboxmike@yahoo.com Facebook: / jbmikerepair

    Why didn't I know you when I had mine? If I did, I might still have it. I was young, a broke student, and it got beyond me, so I let it go. I'm now 72, and still think, maybe one day! Fantastic resto.

    Excellent work. That MG is really going to pop. Funny I was using Evapo Rust yesterday on some SU parts. Like you say , it does work well on small parts.
