Havnt been here in awhile but thought Id put up what Ive got now I sold my Datsun.
The car is a 1970 MG Midget Mk III.
Bought with genuine 87,000 miles from the original 80yo owner.
1275cc putting out a massive 65hp
Luckily it only has to pull 680kg
Also came with a fibreglass hardtop. Its in good condition but the paint has crazed so Ill have to get it redone.
And one to show off the water beading :roll:
Have a few plans for it but nothing too major. Its too original for me to hack it around. But Ill still make it handle abit better and look abit nicer.
In its current form its easily the most fun car Ive ever driven. Its particularly slow and its handling limit is easily breached but once it croses it its surprisingy controllable.
First mods:
Momo Super Indy wheel I previously had on my Datsun
Autotechnica Boss - As with every Autotechnica one Ive had it didnt fit properly, unfortunately Momo don't make a Midget one.
Wooden Gear Knob previously on my dads MGB
Before
After
More minor changes:
New grille badge
New Reverse Light lenses.
Compared to the Datsun its so mint actually being able to buy parts. Relatively cheap too...postage is more than most of the parts cost
Comparison of lenses
