The Great MG Project

The car as it appeared when it arrived in
the garage in October of 2006

The car starts AND runs!! After six years of work I am pleased to report that the 1967 MG Midget has actually started in October 0f 2008. The body welding is completed, the engine has been rebuilt and installed, and the "new" 1999 Mazda Miata seats are installed.

Meanwhile, after a cold winter, spring 2009 found us working on the car one bit at a time. Finishing touches have been progressing. The windshield is in place and the wiring is coming along.

I am building custom upholstry panels for the doors, footwells, and other areas of the interior. The techniques follow those outlined by Larry Lyles in Auto Restorer Magazine.

The car has been run the car periodically. Parts are still being added and now it looks even more complete that anybody has seen it before. In fact, it is more complete now that when I purchased it. The exciting news is that the car now is drivable, at least up and down the driveway. You can see it in action in the video below.
