Feb. 2020 - The master cylinders on the Austin looked fit for the scrap bin but I knew they could probably be restored to their former glory with a bit of work. I could have bought new ones or sent these off to a specialist for bead blasting/plating or coating & rebuild, but the costs for doing this to countless parts in a car restoration, typically mount up to a very hefty bill.
In any case I enjoyed refurbishing these and hopefully this will show what can be achieved with a few DIY tools, some paint and a little effort! (and it's way more satisfying!)
The content is a mix of photo's & then mostly timelapse.

Note: This is not intended to be a tutorial, I'm an amateur DIY'er on a tight budget showing my work in progress of an oily rag restoration of the Austin. Body will come later. Bear in mind that my methods are not necessarily the best.. Hope you enjoy the video!
