Been awhile, but here she is! Pics Updated! PRIMED
Hey guys! Been awhile. First let me aplogize for my enthusiasm and zeal here. It's probably equivalent to a 5 year old little kid on Christmas morning, but I am VERY excited!! I hope this does nto come across as boasting...I just want to tell somebody who might enjoy this. My family cannot understand the obsession and my friends can;t either! LOL! Anyway, I have been bugging "Vic the car guy" about my little 79 midget. He said she'd move quick now. Due date is either this month or next!! WOO HOO! Anyway, she went from sitting in the parking lot for 2 months to paint removal in October. Then she sat for another month and a half. Now she is in the shop!! The body had the major bodywork completed. The next day she was primed with the first coat and the engine compartment was painted black and reassembled! Next is a little more bodywork and about another 2 coats of primer to ensure she is straight. The engine will be put back in hopefully next week as well!! I cannot believe how good she looks close up...even not at the final stage for painting! Her doors looked rippled like an ocean when she went in and they are **** near laser straight now. Incredible to see the transformation! I just wish I had the skills and knowledge to do so myself! I know some of you guys are pros at this stuff. Not sure how you learned but I envy you all!! Anyway, pics are below:
Mg Midget Restoration...check out the last 10-12 pics or so here.
Also, looks like my new home with the 6 garages is coming through! They have one thing to fix and we're golden! The additional 4 car garage was built by the owner himself. He worked as pit crew chief for a drag racing team in the 70's/80's and built the garage for working on cars. Then he worked for a few car magazines writing articles, etc.. You can basically put 4 cars in one of the 2 car bays and STILL ride a bicycle wround them no problem! He did an amazing job. He even put an office upstairs! He's restored a few old cars in his day and is very knowledgable in the field. He's offered me the opportunity to purchase all of his toolsets and tools. There has got to be at least 3-6 giant Snap-On professional tool kits in there on wheels! I have NO idea what to offer...suggestions?? I wish I was rich! LOL! I hope I can really afford this place! It's like a dream come true!! Anyway, thanks for listening. I hope to post more pics soon. I will probably be in here everyday for the next few months since I am doing all of the rewiring and interior myself. As some of you know I already did the seats. They are sitting in my apartment wrapped in black garbage bage ready to install! My daughter uses them as living room furniture. I guess I have to thank some of you guys for actually enjoying my adventure with this little car. It's nice to talk to peiple who share your enthusiasm! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/square.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grouphug.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/patriot.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif
