Just acquired a Mk III 1970 MG Midget called Middie - because the missus reckons it must be a mid-life crisis.
So for the challenge . . . the Midget has very little bits of "real metal" in it. On the bright side, the rust is a lovely colour, and I'm sure would do wonders for air-conditioning on a hot day
No motor, no gearbox, no drive train, no radiator. But lovely wire spoke wheels.
I live on the Central Coast of NSW Australia, about 90 klms north of Sydney.
I think I can handle the body, seems to be lots of body panels around, but the motor is another kettle of fish.
I have heard that there are certain motors which can be dropped straight into the engine bay, and the clutch, gearbox and driveshaft are quite compatible.
Any thoughts on the best way to go.
