Greetings all, I'm on my 3rd MG and am finally getting under way on putting it back on the road. It's a 69 Midget and I'm getting it back from the paint booth tomorrow (6 Mar 2010). Engine was rebuilt earlier, and most of the kibbles and bits are in place ... just waiting to be put on. More to be posted soon. Cheers

On The Road Again ...
Posted on: Tuesday April 13, 2010
Finally! Dropped in a new battery, reached across the driver's door and turn the key ... fired right up! Now that's what I'm talking about!

I would like to be much further along than I am, all in due time. I had a friend come over on Friday and we got the body seal attached to the windshield and got it attached to the car. What a process! Very satisfied with the final results. I did manage to get the review mirror attached to the...
Day 8 Of Captivity ...

OK, just a quick update. Had a good session yesterday with the car and am going out there in a few minutes to continue piecing things back together. I managed to actually secure the Midget script on the boot lid ... I've got fairly small hands but OUCH!!! Little bits going into little places. Door handles are polished up and back on, door locks are new and in place. They work ... sort of. The latching mechanism inside the door is very stiff. I may need to pull it and lube it well. That...
