Takes a big man to take on the rusty metal work. If I had the MIG
welders, I might give it a try. If I were to make all my own
replacement panels instead of buying from Moss, it might turn out
very economical. If I was prepared for something not too
perfect......
I've seen amateurs go at it, not all succeed, and hats off to
those who do. Take a look at the body restoration pics in -
MG Midget & Austin-Healey Sprite Restoration Prep Maint by Jim
Tyler
and
Same title Guide tp Purch & DIY Restoration by Haynes
Geez, enough to scare me right off (unless its an absolutely rare
car). IMHO, if you want to get on the road before the third
millenium, buy a rust free tub.
