well guys as said please dont hate me but the nova went bye byes today so i thought id crack on with my mg miget old s plate 1800, so i pulled the car out of the garage to find it needed alot of welding more holes than before so i thought meh why not will upload pics asap:)

they only did a 1300 & 1500 midget... so if this is a 1800, is it a triumph lump or a b series??

i like the midget, and if they are stripped out, and got enough power they can give a seven a run for its money

welding ftw as they say, pics!

[shed-on-wheels]

would have had alot more done but the genny decided to be a bum everytime i got a good arc the genny would die (hence the rubish welding) eventhough ive never had a problem with it before any how heres the pics :)

when you bear in mind that the midget was originally designed in 1957/8 as the austin healey, and had rust traps big enough to catch a rhino in, that looks surprisingly good.. it also reminds me that novas weren't made of the shonkiest metal ever (close to it though) and once finished, you'll have a really good classic motor to play in..

thanks bud, its not the worst ive welded up but then again its not the best either i know my nova was alot better and that got scrapped :(

[Andy]

Looks good,but in some of those pics your welding to rot???

[shed-on-wheels]

all the rot was cleaned out bud its solid

[stt]

Nice project, I would want to cut back to more decent metal tbh

Check out a build diary on vauxsport by a user called aubrey, his midget is unreal!
It'll be great once it's done!
I can't wait to be able to crack on with my healey 3000!

[shed-on-wheels]

i will have a look at that thanks bud!!
