Bit of a long video but well worth a look. Enjoy.
This is the way to build MG cars! No health & Safety in those days. The wheel fitting stage and engine to gearbox assembly takes some beating and as for the spray shop and the guys not wearing masks!!!

I like how he put the wheels on!
I will have to try that.

They don’t seem to mask things too well.
Must have been lots of overspray?

Thanks for that link!

I have a 31 Morris Minor that "shares" some of those components.

I should wear a tie in the shop.

Talk about overspray.. look at the painters, no mask of any kind.
