Rags to Races
A restoration story of an MG Midget into a road going racer. done with no prior mechanical skills
Episode 8 - Garage renovations and a sneak peak from the dippers
Absolutely fantastic show this weekend at the NEC Restoration Show with Everyone from and a few new friends picked up along the way. Astounded at the attention an ugly old shell commanded all weekend. Fully spurred on by all the encouragement, I am eager to start the real work.
For those who didn't manage to see the car in the flesh this weekend a full walk around video is coming soon.
So very happy to have been a part of the show this year. And, to be supported by so many knowledgeable people in the Club as I begin my project is invaluable. You all have my thanks in advance.
But first, a much needed rest.
