Got my Midget yesterday

I finally got my first British car yesterday, it's a 76 midget that runs pretty well but it definately needs some work. So far most of the electrics don't work, and most of the interior is missing. It starts and runs pretty well, but the brakes are very soft. My first project will be to find a top for it since the one thats on it has a rip almost all the way across. I'll post some pictures in a few minutes.

It's got more rust than it looks like from those pictures, but it doesn't seem to be structural. Those seats have to go, they are too tall for me to fit in the car comfortably. If anyone has a top or some seats they don't need, I might be interested.
