Thanks, I bought the car off eBay for about £1300 and the total cost of the restoration came to around £7500. Hope that helps.

Yes that really does. You've got a lovely little MG there now after all your hard work. I hope you're enjoying it. Thankyou

Thanks for you comments

The interior is Navy. Thanks very much for your comments

Thanks a lot for your kind words

Thank you very much

Thanks, l wanted a GT6 but chose the Midget because the initial cost of buying the project car was a lot less. Now I’ve got a bit of experience if I get the urge to do another it would be a probably a TR6. Certainly take the plunge and get started it’s great fun.

Someone once suggested to me that it’s a signal that you’re one of the funny handshake mob … 🤷‍♀️

Got it on Ebay seller called Ade Foreman. We’re about are you as I might be selling mine soon?

5 litres of cellulose paint and 5 thinners

thanks for a great comment, makes all the hard work worthwhile

Glad to help

My pleasure 😊

Thanks 👍

Yes I know, thanks for pointing it out. I'm told every one makes that mistake once. I did correct myself at the end of the video.

I think everyone with a Sprite or Midget has done that!

Thanks a lot

Yes it is

many thanks

Thankyou for your comments. good luck with the rebuilds

Thanks

It’s taken me 3 years to get here I remember where your at and it seemed to be endless but I just took one job at a time. I also swapped the jobs around, a bit of rusty metalwork and then a break on renovating something mechanical, so I didn’t get too bored and bogged down. Now I get excited every time I walk in the garage. Hopefully be on the road this year

@@exminiracer8758 Brilliant. Just one question, where did you learn you skills in making your own panels? Some of the curvy panels you’ve made are pretty impressive I’ve got to say. What kind of tools do you use?

Thanks for your comments and a great suggestion but for me I want to keep the car original with only a couple of period accessories

Thanks, I used BLMC Harvest Gold Cellulose paint from Jawel Paints on Ebay. Great company very helpful staff.

@@exminiracer8758 Great, thanks for the info.

Thanks Mark

Many thanks. I sprayed the car in the garage over a few warm days last October, its taken a while for me to get around to making and posting the video. I did no special pre to the garage I just swept the floor and drained the compressor of water, I didn't have an extractor fan so I raised the roller shutter a couple of inches and opened the back door. I then wiped the body down with panel prep and a tac rag and sprayed. I allowed about 20 - 30 mins between coats. As I said in the video the LVLP gun was fantastic, once I had set it up, it applied the paint in a very controlled way, with almost no overspray. Spraying the car was something that I was very apprehensive about, but I really wanted to be able to say that I had done every thing myself, so I had to try doing it. I am so pleased I did. It was never going to be a 3 to 4K professional job, but I've achieved a very acceptable finish and I'm over the moon with the result. All I can say is go for it !!

Thanks, you too!

I got it from Ashley Hinton Panels he’s on eBay and a great guy

Been doing a house extension so car was on the back burner but I have a couple of videos coming out soon and I’m back on it

@@exminiracer8758 fingers crossed the house extension went well. I look forward to seeing the videos 👍

Thanks for your comments. I'm very pleased with the way they cleaned up. Thankfully all the wear was on the brass spindle and not the carb body.

Thanks for your comments , can’t wait to start putting it all back together. Just got the small job of painting the body to do first.
