Be careful Jack, Midget's are habit forming, especially the RWA models. Looks like a pretty nice old car, definitely a keeper.

hehehe...I stood in that garage a few days ago! The old guy who's restoring it really just wants to get it running so he can sell it!!
I tried to get Jack to buy it, but he won't!
Jack & I even helped him move the car into the middle of his garage.

I have a ~1973 RWA Midget~ a lot like that.
Black.
Crappy looking, but "saveable".
I really bought it for the engine (which is in very decent shape). Paid $200 for it.
I pulled the 1275 out of it for my A35. The rear will go in my A35 too.
If I have the time, I'd like to drop the A35 engine (948) and another spare rear in it and build a rat-rod at some point.

Thats not black thats spray can primer. He says it will be red.
Now for the real news. Today I was given a Midget parts car to pick up tomorrow. No engine, sigh. Has tranny etc etc. I will pull the parts and clean em up and eBay most of it that is no good for Bugeye spares.
Pics to follow when I get it in the garage.
Tank and sending unit etc etc all new from Crags list arrived today. All for 233 dollars to my house, heck it is even painted. It is for the car pictured above.

That car looks about paint ready. It would be fun to paint another one. He wants red then maybe something like this.

You never know :wink:bugimike said:Hehe, ready to tackle another one of those metal-flake paint jobs Kim?
I learned a lot the first time and it should be much easier this time. I really want to do one that changes color with day and night and then go over it with the metallic paint. They got all kinds of stuff like that where I got my paint from.
