Deep blue, clean lines, and that J-code presence
Clean classic lines, sharp wheels, chrome touches, and that old-school attitude that never really gets old.

How should I go about refurbishing 1953 mg td
The car has been sitting in a garage under a protective blanket for 50 years.
No rain
No animals
The car was in working condition when put to storage.
I know I should put in a new battery first. Replace the old gas in there. And replace the oil.
What else should I look out for?

Is it worth it???
Got a ‘68 Mercury Cougar that isn’t quite as bad as a barn find. Last time it was driven is at least 2005 and maybe longer.
Car has been in the family since driven new off the lot. Had several “owners” over the years….no one’s taken care of it.
I’m not trying to perfect it. I just want to drive it safely. Told a mechanic what I want and he said to not even bother.
He wouldn’t tell me how much he thought was too much to get it running safely. I was thinking of starting with engine running, transmission functional, drive train functional, brakes/lines/cylinder.
I know there’s a crap ton to check and I gotta figure that out yet. Like, has the engine seized? But I figure I can at least to a battlefield-triage on it for less than $1000.
Might find it’s gonna take another $5k, $10k, $20k for what I want….
Nothing would surprise me…but I gotta know. I can’t just scrap it.
How do I start this triage?
