Book your car in for a feature on IDRIVEACLASSIC!
Email – [email protected] with all your details and a rough location (nearest town/city is fine!) to get considered and booked in. Please note: at this time we are looking to book cars pre 1980 and all cars must be roadworthy.
We’re in a cost of living crisis and lots of people are finding their treasured classic car or vintage car needs bodywork, accident repair or dent repair and they cannot afford to put it through a professional garage but don’t want to just ‘leave it’ for another season.
Nobody gets it right the first time (nobody was born an expert in their field!) but in today’s video we show you some of the basics of bodywork, explain some of the terminology you may hear from bodywork experts and give you a few tricks along the way.
Please remember this is not a professional garage you’re watching, it is two friends having a great time restoring a car they both really like.

Nancy just keeps going even after 2 heart transplants 😂
Good to see Kev back on the channel – lovely subtle choice of colour
Excellent Steph, thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing the car finished. Kev's doing an awesome job. 🙂👍
Looking forward to seeing the Moggie engine swap.
What do you think of the Morris Minor 2025? Taking retro looks too far?
Thanks for the update Steph.
Very interesting,, hope the final paint goes well.
Despite life's trials Kev and yourself have done well to get this MG to this stage. She will look good in grey I am sure and BTW I think there are more than three shades of 'British Racing Green'. It's a nice colour but you can find a good number of cars in that colour (BRG) so Kev I think you have chosen well and yes the red seats will go well with the grey. What a bonus in finding that template Kev as you say it would have been a nightmare to drill all those holes without it. Just a suggestion Kev; yes clean out the garage but why not put some clear sheeting around all the shelves and bench when spraying? Thank you Steph for this update, much appreciated. 👍👍
Really enjoyed this video Steph. Thank you 💜🇬🇧
great……
Very well done this one. The big takeaway for me is that life indeed along with unforeseen circumstances can result in priority changes. For 'off job' or personal time projects with fewer people involved it's sometimes better to have 'target' dates for milestones or activities rather than the dreaded deadlines. Things happen and we all have unplanned events that need dealing with. As you mention a deadline may be achievable but at a cost in budget or quality and often both. Requiring rework and even greater cost. Many thanks for sharing.
Always good to see you Steph. ❤
Not Cadium this is illegal as far as I know, looks like Nickel Plated with gold passivate
Thank you!
I had an Austin A55 MkII Cambridge in Grampian Grey, I didn't like it at first but it soon grew on me. I sold it to a friend about 15 years ago & he's still got it.
“I got distracted by a squirrel outside” relatable TBH.
Did Kev have a one scene, brief speaking part in The Jetty?
Good to see both you and Kevin making good progress on your cars – I like the look of the badges on the back of the MGC – will truly stand out on the road or at a show highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of the car.
A great update video and the grey colour very nice l am watching another series of videos on a restoration on another car the famous million mile Lexus LS400 which is basically all body work the engine has not been removed and
Kev sounds kinda' like a Newcastler. Am I far off?
lovely, jus lovely. always enjoy going to the garage. also, i always say, " squirrel" wen something is distracting, but no one seems to understand!!!!!!!!
The patience to do this kind of work is incredible, certainly not for everyone and why it's so expensive.
Great video.
Bodywork is so time consuming.
It takes as long as it takes unfortunately.
Over on my channel I've been stripping my b gt to bare metal as it has had several paint jobs in the past and it was peeling off in several places not to mention the engine bay being painted in hamerite which I've just finished stripping and painting. 👍👍
Another great video Steph, great to see Kevin always impressed with his enthusiasm and knowledge. Also great to see how the classic car community helps each other out.
Definitely a labour of love but is going to give so much pleasure once finished
Another great video 👍
Colne Classics are in Clacton Essex.
I have got to get back to work on " Rosie " my Minor, I went through a patch when I couldn't get myself going on it, but hopefully work will resume again now, May I say how good you are looking Steph, well-done girl.
Might be an idea for Kev to slow down.There are no prizes for hurrying on this- whenever the pressure is on try going in the opposite direction 'cos the quality of final finish & your satisfaction with it are the only important factors here.
wonderful video and please don't stress life is very crazy from time to time and we are all Human and can only do so much at a time and I always enjoy watching your video's and you and Kevin have reignited my love for classic car's big time and it's a big thankyou two for this and on the hunt for a classic car and I hope from the 1960's.
Hello Steph, how good to see you and Kev once again in the garage. So enjoyable! Life has been challenging for you recently (as you have explained) and it is "getting through those days" at your own pace which really matters!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Always great watch and look forward to your videos
