thank you i was trying to find a product that had this solvent and was able to ship here in colorado, they have banned this chemical in a lot of places and products.

Looks just like the Jasco stuff I picked up from my local BBS. Put it on and leave it the hell alone for a minimum of 15 minutes.

1961 mga1600 since 2003, and a MGA!! key ring mini car iso Benz………you sinner. :-)

Congrats, looks great!

Put on then cover it with cling film, makes it work even faster, when you peel each piece off most of the paint will stick to the cling film, adhere to the advice on the instructions especially the aimbient temps you work in AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION, PROTECT YOUR EYES AND LUNGS AS THEY ARE " A SINGLE USE BODY PART"

I need help fellas... think same results on lacquer paint ?

drive it to the car wash

I am about 7 years behind you. I am currently welding on new sill, box beams and such so I can get the body off the frame. I was planning on using my cherry picker to get the body off, but I was pleasantly surprised that you can get it off with only two guys!!

Looking good! I found that using a rotary buffer with a wool pad I was good to go after 3000. It was close to 2000, so at least for me, anything over 3000 didn't help. Obviously that was dependent on starting with a wool pad and a rotary buffer. If you're using a random orbital and foam pad ymmv. The biggest thing for me was to have a super bright LED light bank right over what I was working on. I have great lighting in the shop but adding an LED work light right next to the panel made it was so much easier to see the scratches. I also changed directions with each grit so it was easier to see if each successive grit was removing scratches from the previous one. As you know... it takes a long time but it is sure worth it.

Love the color! I look back on the days of color sanding with mixed emotions. It was a royal pita but the results were definitely worth it.

You only brush 1 way and leave alone

A response to your question about mounting the gas tank. I looked through my factory workshop manual that came with my 1958 roadster, Scarborough Faire catalogs, Victoria British catalogs and Moss Motors catalogs. They don't show any more than you have to work with. Maybe the tank is low in the front to prevent fuel starvation when competing in hill climbs. 🤔☺☺ The Scarborough Faire and Victoria British catalogs both have a good parts explosion, just a bolt and spring washer to mount the front to the cross member.

It's 95$ a gallon how much do you need to do an average car

I feel sorry for your eyes, lungs, and brain cells. PPE

Where can I get the chemical?

I have a suspicion that this stuff is the same formula as the original Aircraft Stripper. It acts and smells the same. Be sure to use appropriate protection for your eyes, skin and lungs.

Is that an original blue MG color? Love it! What is the name of the color? Thanks

Ty, tyvm

Why are we listening to this music instead of the driveline?

Great color

Pretty color! Good work!

thanks for sharing... looks good!

Love the color! I painted my MG TD in the summer and it was tough. I did have a really big fan blowing through a filter bank so that helped keep it cooler.

Good job, that's going to be a great car.

Can I get the contact information for Bob who made the inner fender louvers? I’m restoring a 1958 coupe in Ohio and have really found your videos helpful in my first restoration project! Thanks for the continued uploads!

Whenever I have a bad idea I can always come back to this video and know that it wasn't as bad as this. Thanks for that.

This whole video is nothing but you bumping your gums 👎

How about LESS talk (much less verbiage repeating) more work.

I take offense to that slaughtered a Moose thing. 😡

Good video. S/N should be along the inner back edge. It may be under the headliner material. I have similar for sale near Toronto, Canada. You are one step ahead of me in posting a video of it.

Have been following along and I have a question ------ I got my eye on a '58 Coupe ----- and would like to do what you are doing to yours ---- I only have pictures of the car ---- and I was looking to see what parts I may need ---- and looking at the front and the rear window seals ---- they both a really cracked ----- so in trying to get an idea of parts cost ----- I see the window seals are not out there ------ So ------ here's the question did you already pick up a set? ------ Do you have a source for buying them? ------ Thank You for sharing your work on the Coupe ------ Let me know ----- Rodney

Great progress!

I'm thinking of purchasing a Coupe but I'm worried about the heat inside the cab. I love my '58 roadster. I love the look of the MGA Coupe.

1:00 I had creases in the same areas (right and left) in my MGA as well. I believe this is caused by idiot mechanics positioning hoists and car jacks under these corners thinking they can lift the car from there..

Lovely car crap music.

Looks really solid.

What a beaut. Makes me pine for my long gone MGA.

Very cool, I am deciding how to do my mga pain removal

9:55 Bumble Bee? lol

Can you say who was the source for you repair panels?

Any of you guys finished your cars? Parts prices have gone silly. I have a RH drive 1600 MK2 1962 one of the last ones made.

There is lead ,a lot of it in older car paints

Dude, I have a 58 A as well. I know how you feel. Your modifications are spot on. There is no driving experience like an MGA, you can feel it, hear it and smell it. You should be proud, you did a hellava restoration!

Chris looking good go drink a beer......or good old fashiom NU rum and Coke.

A couple of places to do some further investigation but as you say, almost no cancer. I've seen a lot worse and, unfortunately, I have one of those cancer victims in my driveway waiting for a place in the rotation.

Good find.. Love the coupe lines.. Real timeless.. Now that you have another project, I'll take that P1800 off your hands. I'll even double your investment 😄😄😄

Congrats, looks like fun! You've done this before so you know... but do make sure you remove all that paint. If it came off with the tape there was a step or three missed in the prep process when it was painted. Excited to follow along!

Nice progress! Something to consider, if you're putting glass into a gasket/seal, be sure you have clearances for all of it before you cut in the stoplight...

The stop. Ishtar would look better if you put it below the widow where you originally planned
