Congratulations Basil on hitting the 5000 milestone. It seems I’ve been remiss in posting an introduction so here it is.
My dad picked up a ’74 Midget project car when I was 8 or so and I fell in love with the car. He passed away a couple years later and the project never got finished. I was too young to take on the body work that it needed and after sitting for a few years it had to go. I kick myself now since it went to the local auto recycler; I hope someone got use of some parts at least.
Last year I picked a ’73, a good daily driver with horrible body work and paint by one of the previous owners, a good 30/30 car. I’ve rebuilt the tranny, changed over to Petronix, upgraded the front springs and sway bar, added a rollbar, 5 point harness for the drivers side, new interior, and worked out all the electrical problems (that I know about of course).
I’m in the process of building a spare engine, so I’ll be asking for advice; I have David Vizard’s book to start. I also have a Datsun 5 speed for the tranny upgrade that will get rebuilt after the engine is done and probably go in over the winter.
I’m autocrossing August 6th so we’ll see what I break.
