Hi all
Here's my MG midget that i 'won' on ebay for £450, it was close to me so i viewed it first and thought it was solid enough for the opening price, i bid and no one else did so it came to stay with me!!
The underside of the car is solid but the wings, doors etc needed some work (still do actually!!)
Here's the car as it was when it was delivered (apart from me trying to take the hood down in very cold weather and breaking the plazzie back window


First thing to go was the 'orrible gret lumps of rubber from front and back, i was going to convert to chrome but i think i'll just weld over all the mount holes and go proper bumperless...
The problem with going bumperless is that when you remove the front bumper, there are two large rectangular holes which need to be filled so i welded a plate over, there was some rot below the headlamps too so that needed a plate making/welding in..
When i removed the offside wing, the inner wing was rotten on the front edge so that needed some new steel in too..

The indicator hole filled..

the rot cut away and new steel welded in..

From the inside..

There was a hole on the top of the wing which i made a small round patch for and that and the cutout at the bottom rear of the wing have now been done, there's on bit that needs patching before i can replace the wing, it would have been easier to but a couple of replacement wings but that would have been nearly £600


The rear of the tub where the soft top fits needs welding, it's a shame a pressed panel can't be bought for this as it would be much easier than making several plates to cover from one side to t'uther...
Not much is happening lately on it due to an accident at work and the fact that it's gettin a bit cold now...
