First Wash in 34 Years MG TD Barn Find Surprise Reveal

[@plaws0]

When I heard the old man (probably not much older than me) say "this is my incentive" I could hear Larry's heart swell to three times its normal size. :-) Good work!

[@AMMO-NYC]

They’re working on getting it running now. :)

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

@@AMMO-NYC Will you update us on it if they do?! 🙏

[@jean-luc9957]

@@AMMO-NYC Follow up videos on the mg and dutson maybe? 👀

[@Chris_8270]

What I love about these videos is that even when the paintwork is clearly ruined, the car still gets the love and care it deserves

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Agreed, the guys did an amazing job cleaning it up. I will though never understand why some owners let great old cars like this get into such a state. I wouldn't be surprised if it's put back into the same shed and abandoned for another 30 years.

[@chrisrefaei]

100%

[@mikesweet5848]

And outside of the polishing, it's a necessary step before any real restoration work begins.

[@kanedaku]

And even though you know its got bad paint, you're still captivated enough to watch. I want to see this MG fully restored, maybe Larry can do final detailing on it.

[@ohboy2592]

To be a fly on the wall during these details would be amazing! Having you three working on the same car together is incredible. Love these details.

Awesome! his dad can now park it under a barn shed in the open for another 30+ years.

Thats sad ngl

[@derekmatcheski]

my dad is the hardest working and most humble man i've ever met. 6-7 days a week in a metal fabrication shop, sometimes 12+ hour days at 70 years old. his dedication and ability to restore classic cars is unrivaled. the barn, which isn't "in the open" was built specifically to preserve his cars for a time when he could properly fix and enjoy them. my dad, Bob is the epitome of what a car enthusiast should be. i can't think of anyone more deserving of his collection, or capable of restoring them. they will not sit another 30 years so please don't be so quick to make assumptions. thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@MrEMVme]

@@derekmatcheski I'm sure his comment was just a snide joke but your reply and your fathers comment is exactly what this community likes to hear(the spark of inspiration). I hope Maggie gets a long life back on the road! The work to the barn/shed(despite being aged) really shows as vehicles such as Maggie would not have survived 44 years in a normal ratty old shed.(at least not up here in Canada) I appreciate what you do and I love your taste in cars!

[@dank_ici]

5:45 it's the song that dankpods uses for headphone comparisons lol😂 Always waiting for the Friday video 👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@johnxina2140]

5:50 not used to hearing that song without also seeing some headphones on screen

[@swiftsword4221]

Exactly what I was thinking, or hearing it run for the full length

[@itsameyaboi]

Man, how cool, I can't imagine how much fun it was to detail Sam Elliot's car 🔥

[@derekmatcheski]

he gets that all the time 😂

It's great to hear that the owner is motivated to bring this relic back to life and keep the history alive. Awesome work as always sir!

[@SvengaliBrotherT]

Super awesome to see the owner be excited about his car again. I love this channel!

[@Followyourlight420]

Thank you for all you do! You make my OCD seem “normal”. Your products are amazing too!!

[@bradschwartz9084]

I love how you motivate the owners to get these beautiful machines back on the road. Absolutely beautiful work! Great job!

[@gmans7859]

Maggie Smiling. Bless you guys. Always inspiring the rest of us!

[@mtbikesam68]

SO HAPPY to hear the direction he plans on going with "restoration". Do the chassis, make it run, make it safe, and plop that amazing patina O.G. body right back on it! Yes!!!

[@oHeihei]

"This is the Maggie that I know and love"... man, words like that make all that hard work so so worth it. Beautiful job!

[@papawheelie5835]

What a transformation! That old, dingy, British Racing Green is just so classic on these sporty little cars of the past. Bravo!

[@FeatherleszBiped]

Just registering here my appreciation for the fact that you don't make your videos into those 30 to 45 minutes chore-to-watch and still i never feel like i missed anything, thanks

[@Jeffball610]

I think the reason so many of us enjoy these types of videos is that we can imagine doing this ourselves on our own neglected projects. Seeing the transformation gives us motivation to do more. For the cars already running, cleaning them up will give you some confidence to enjoy the car while yo make improvements over time.

[@Pappyman]

When patina looks good, keep it. Character is invaluable

[@christianboyd4635]

That dash turned out amazing! I love the door handles on that thing, they're literally gate hooks, really brings home the old Top Gear saying about being built in a shed haha.

[@iDropPhats]

There’s something special about seeing old paint preserved. Dare I say I like it better than flawless perfect paint preserved for decades? It adds character to the car, shows the age but projects the love the owner has for their beautiful machine after all those years

[@JStryker7]

The issue is that there’s rust that needs to be fixed or the car will cease to exist

[@bmwman1981]

Patina is a term used for I want a classic car but I can only afford to restore the running gear which is not a properly restored car

[@gotham61]

@@bmwman1981 Original cars with patina are worth far more than restored cars.

I have found that Bronze wool is better on chrome because it is softer than the chrome and will not scratch it.

[@jacobmallis]

@5:42 I felt like I was watching a Dankpods video for a moment

[@redblockgarage]

I love watching you bring forgotten vehicles back to life cosmetically giving people the want to get them back on the road.

[@glbernini0]

Love your time references...45 minutes of work for a team of professionals with everything means a whole weekend for average people!

It’s the first time I hear the full version of the song dankpods uses when comparing headphones to the hd600 lmao

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

I've only played an hour of Detail Simulator but I am absolutely loving it so far. It's still a bit un-optimal for cleaning and detailing right now with our weather in reality, so I've been so excited to get playing it and live out my detailing dreams virtually, until I can start doing it in reality :D

[@rickbaker4571]

Love watching the three of you going at it... Thanks for bringing us along. Such a cool ride.

[@windronner1]

I can not get over how watching these videos. I actually learn how much I don't know about detailing. On the other hand. I just cleaned up a couple of 45 year old chrome bike wheels. That were completely yellowed from flash rust. Using just 600 grit steel wool with soapy white vinegar. And results even removed most of the pitting!!! I was dumbfounded,and thrilled. Got any suggestions!??! LoL..

This is really exciting as my father had a TD (Red) that he bought in 1951 and then added a supercharger to it later . He sold it not long after I was born ('53) so I've only seen old photos of it. Thanks for a great video!

[@elultimo102]

Brings back memories of my first car----A '51 MG-TD that I got in '67. It looked cool and was fun to drive, but like most BMC cars, was mechanically a POS as a daily driver. It appears you only have one original hub cap---on the spare. They were already hard to find in the '60s, along with badge bars and side-curtain frames.

The "jack" you refer to is a beer/soda can opener. They were very common in the UK until ring pulls appeared. If you bought enough cans, you were given one free.
