Some of you may remember the story of a MG Midget that was found in a barn on some land bought by a family member 10-15 years ago.

Shame about no turbo, but it will be a better car for resale if it stays original.

I've built an A30 Academy car, but didn't use the uprated lever-arm dampers as supplied by MotoBuild.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

Yes, no shortage of parts :) Axel has ben buying up panels on the cheap over the last couple of years. As with Minis though, they are a poor fit, even the Heritage ones.

great stuff guys, stick at it. These can rot almost as badly as a Mini 'Where does the engine go?' |

Ouch! Also the offside front chassis leg on mine is quite manky due to years of coolant being dumped on it was drained. 'Where does the engine go?' |

Excellent! Text book stuff, hope you enjoy the finished product, (but a turbo would be even more fun...) 'Where does the engine go?' |
