Copart MG3 Transformation... but FAILED... again.

This was supposed to be the episode where the crashed MG3 finally came back together. After buying this damaged Copart MG3 (£700), stripping it down, replacing crash parts and fighting with the side damage, I finally had enough parts to make it look like a car again. Doors, glass, locks, airbags, seatbelts, interior trim, suspension parts, steering arms, panel gaps… the lot. And honestly, for a while, it felt like we were winning. The airbags were fitted. The fault codes cleared. The doors started lining up. The interior went back together. The damaged side began to look like an MG3 again. I even upgraded to a 10-ton portapower to pull the pillar a bit further and built a very questionable DIY spray booth to paint the replacement front wing properly. But salvage cars love a plot twist. The wing came out shiny… but the colour match was wrong. Very wrong. Then I spotted another issue with the front wheel angle, which could mean the replacement lower arm isn’t quite right either. So this MG3 has been completely transformed — but it’s still not finished. This is the reality of rebuilding a crashed salvage car at home: every time you think you’re nearly there, it finds another way to fight back. If you enjoy Copart rebuilds, DIY car repairs, cheap salvage projects and the occasional complete failure, you’re in the right place.
