1966 MG Midget returning from paintshop
July 19, 2016
We’ve just got back from the workshops in Needham Market where we had our first inspection of the new re-spray on the MG Midget.
We are due to see it back in the Bridge Classic Cars workshops tomorrow afternoon ready for re-assembly.
A few slight imperfections were found this afternoon on our visit so these will now get our full attention to keep us on track with our timings.
As you can see we have managed to rescue the original bonnet which is fantastic news as it keeps the car original. If replacement parts are required then this can be arranged but it’s always great to see original parts restored if at all possible.
Once the car is back with us at the Bridge Classic Cars workshops we’ll prepare her on the ramp ready for re-assembly. At this stage the wheels will be removed and refurbished ready for final installation.
This is where a car really starts to take shape.

A trip up the A14 is due soon as we get our 1971 Jaguar E-Type 3 Roadster chrome work organised, ready for refurbishing.
When organising the chrome (or all parts in general) it is important to document what you have to start with so it helps when it’s returned; A. to check you have it all and B. it helps work out what each individual part is and where it belongs.
Aftermarket parts these days are wonderful. As time goes on original parts for classic cars are becoming harder and harder to find so there is absolutely a market for aftermarket parts but if you are lucky enough to have original parts that are repairable then it’s best to do this if it is a cost effective solution.
Off we go to Wyatt Polishing in Thetford, Tony does wonders with chrome-work!
