I don't believe he specified what model MG.  MGA and very early MGB are aluminum; have no idea about spridgets.  later cars are steel.

In aluminum, it is going to need reinforcement on the inside. It might =
be a legitimate case for fiberglass. Filler is just going to crack and =
pop out as the metal flexes. TIG welding is possible but might warp the =
surface.

MGB's had aluminium boots? I thought only the bonnet was aluminium in the

I certainly prefer 'aluminium' to 'alooominum' :o)

I must admit I jumped to 'MGB', and although you can get alloy skins for 
them now I've not seen anything to indicate they were originally, unlike 
'bonnets'.

You can weld aluminium, and braze steel to aluminium.  Depends how neat 
a job is needed on the inside after that.
