Re: Pilkies new project!! 1954 MG TF1500
No welding needed ANYWHERE!!
Not even on any of the straight body panels!!
The only rust that caused a hole was in the petrol tank,where water had settled!
Unfortunately the MG specialists list a replacement "repro" tank at £440,, :shock:
BUT! :wink: You know me!
I happened to fall on a just listed on Ebay,rare NOS fuel tank just a 1.5hr drive of me and jumped on it with an Email,and did a deal for £150,+ a box of mainly nos and excellent goodies I valued at £450 for £100!
BARGAIN!!!
Now all I need to be lucky in finding as well is a good running original engine.
Have been reading up on powdercoating chassis' and I have almost decided against it.
I have a ltr of epoxymastic rustbuster ive been saving,so will use that in conjunction with a spray on stoneguard,thats overpaintable,and finish off with either satin or gloss black.
I will then treat the chassis to a good dose of waxoil!!
There is however some rot,but this is rot in 3 sections of wood,"not the wet kind",and these are easily bought and screwed into place.
