OK, the pics stink because I had to take them wiht my phone camera, but if you look at the last few in the greyish hue she is almost completely sans paint! Found some bodywork already done and they are removing it all and makling her sweet and straight! 2 weeks he says and she'll be primered and ready to paint. YES!!! Time to order my interior kit. Any suggestions? Moss or Victoria British? I need the rugs and panels and such. I have already restored the seast and they are in my living room as furniture until the ar is ready. Also, is there a trunk carpet avaulabel for the Midget? I don;t think it came with it originally(?). Thanks guys! I am so excited!!! She's planned for Midnight Blue with a black engine compartment. Engine will be degreased and repainted too. I cannot wait until I can really put her on the road!! This is going to be a LONG, EXPENSIVE process!! AS a side note: The cushions for both seats came out to almost $220 total whereas the ones for my 68 Pony car are only $94 for both..MGs are expensive!!

<shameless BCF member plug> Contact Tony (The Autoist) Barnhill with a Private Message and part numbers. HIs banner ad runs at the top of the forum. He'll be the best source.</shameless BCF member plug> /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Wait 'til you start to thrutch it about a bit and you'll justify ANY expense to keep drivin' it!

Better'n an "E" ticket ride at DizzyWorld! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Vicky Brit has a trunk carpet kit, and I think Tony is now a Vicky Brit dealer.

Blackjokr, did I miss something somewhere. What are your plans for this car? Complete nut and bolt redo or just a fix it up and drive it?

Either way you going to have fun. It dosn't get any better than this. Arn't they a mess when they are unloved for years.
