Here is my 74 midget, picked her up last week. As it stands it's fairly solid but hasn't been on the road since 94 so will need some work before i can really enjoy her but hey that's half the fun isn't it? Before I even had a midget I saw the Ashley gt hardtop and bought it straight away as I knew they were rare, I was then kind of tied into getting a midget to fit it to. Here is that said Midget    Going to be filling the holes in where the bumpers were for a smoothed look, the chrome was trashed anyway.  Interior, going to be a stripped out singer style (ish) here it is as it stands  Engine running like a pig on stilts so stripped down the carbs and waiting on a rebuild kit to arrive it has a silver seal replacement engine that all being well will be staying....for now   Thats it for now building her on a budget and hope to be having fun soon. Bye for now. |

I quite like that interior as it is to be honest! I do like what you're doing to the look from the outside however. Also some old school tuning will yield some surprising results with the engine if you chuck some $$ at it.

Thanks, the interior isn't the best tbh the pictures make it look better than it is, in reality its rather scruffy. since these pictures I've fitted classic bucket seats just need to fab some carpet up. I need to turn my attention to the outside soon and start filling in holes I was thinking of deleting the reversing lights? I'm sure I've seen someone on here do it before. |

I deleted mine (and my sde lights TBH) I replaced the reverse lights with a motorcycle signal light under the bumper - looks way better to my eyes. I can post a pic if you are interested |

Love the car BTW |
