$250 midget

[zimmy]

i stopped by yesterday and took an
"over the fence" look at an older
midget body i had spotted last summer
at an "antique" junk car lot....
the hood looked very straight as did
the rest of it.....
its just a roller as its been mostly
gutted, but i was considering it since
i need a better hood.....
ill get a better look later, with pics....

just a thought.........z

I don't suppose they will just let you take the bits you need?
That's always nice, leave them with the hulk.
There's always something someone else needs anyway.

 

[zimmy]

haha, theyve kinda done that already!
i doubt theyed part it...
its really just a rolling body with tires mostly....z

I lucked out & was first on the scene of a 79 part out.
Got me some good Midget parts & pieces! :wink:

Shoot take it all. The scrap yards are giving good money now for steel hulks. Take off what you want and then drag it up on a trailer and sell it for scrap.

If it has tires, it has A-arms, shocks, hubs, rear axle, springs, maybe even disk brakes, steering rack, etc.

ya Donn, it probably has all that, and a windshield frame.
ill eventually buy it for the hood, at least..
but i really want it because it might make a good candidate
for my electric car idea,....it needs ALOT of stuff to be
drivable though, i think its a 6o something.......
ill try to get some pics.....z

Does that windshield frame have a perfect piece of glass in it and come with visors, top latches & rear view mirror?

(mine did)

A guy from my wife's church just bought a Jetta to convert - sent me this link

I've been considering a convert myself. I've found a Bugeye shell that needs a bit of work but is mostly there, and this:
