Its been quite a while since I've been on the forum. Frankly,
not a lot going on until today. Found a pretty decent
'78 Midget for sale locally. Runs, minimal rust, good
interior, and (most important) dirt cheap. Has clutch hydraulic
issues. Don't they all? Anyway, it was hard to pass up.
I've had a '61 Midget and Bugeye for a number of years
and am very (some would say too) familiar with the early
Spridgets, but not the newfangled later version. I'd
appreciate any tips on what issues to look for.
I'd also like to know if anyone has done a conversion
to chrome bumpers. Can it be done without modifying
the body? I've got a spare set of bumpers for the '61
and would like to see if its reasonable to try
to put these on the '78. Never did like the rubber
baby bumpers.
