Parting out the 1963 Midget

After much tought and talk with Jack Laird I've decided to part out my 63 Midget. It's almost complete but eveything is off the car. I will send a group of photo's shortly, but until I can put them all together anyone looking for parts can e-mail me at jjkenterprises@gmail.com and I will get you what pictures you need.
It's to bad I really wanted to have a car like Tony's just to keep up with the upper class of the MG world. I hope California
has a good selection of car to choose from.
Thanks to all,
Jim Kitchen

Tony, what part do you need? Could the same part be found on a '69?

Tony is out of town but the door part he needs is only found on a LBC with sidecurtins. It is the pocket part for the side pocket in the door. Not sure if he needs right or left.

He will be back Monday.

Hi:

I need a trunklid, the rounded sheetmetal pieces under the rear taillight and the front front most bit that goes under the bumper. Please of me know what you want for the pieces. Many thanks!

Jack, I've got both.

I'll be doing an aluminum skin over both door openings with a cutouts for the latching levers on my '62 Sprite.

I'll go hunt them up and get them ready to ship...or I can bring them to MO for Tony.

OK...Tony (and/or Jack).

I found what I think you are looking for, the vinyl covered metal plates that form the map pocket in the early Spridget doors. If so, I have both sides in very good condition; all mounting brackets are present and all rivets secure, neither has been pulled hard enough to kink it. A few minutes at the upholstery shop for recovering and they would be pristene.

PM me or call me (706.534.7145) Monday.

Ray

(PS - I've always posted photos from my website, but will try doing one from the File Manager option...if it doesn't work, I'll do it the other way.)

I've got new board & vinyl, just lost the upper & lower metal pieces.

Hi Ray I am looking for black seat covers (pan and back) for both seats, but don't know if they are the same as for my 1970.

Let me know

Sorry, Woodie...the parts are different and the seats from my '62 already went to another BCFer. You shouldn't have a hard time finding seat for your car though.

Tony, the parts went out via UPS this aftrnoon (you have a PM with tracking #) for delivery tomorrow.

When you see them you will have second thoughts about changing the boards...the ones I shipped you are near prefect from what I can see. Think twice before drilling out those rivets.

Hope you like 'em,

Ray
