Midget works.

Well a constructive day spent playing with the 1978 midget. We decided to put it on a diet and removed the rubber bumpers, as they weigh far too much and just restrict the performance of the car. It's only got 68hp so taking weight off has to help!

So having removed the front bumper it became obvious that there is going to have to be an indicator change as the stanard one fits into the bumper and leaves a sodding great hole in each wing. Added to that the holes in each wing are 1/4 of an inch different in height!! Typical MG engineering. So have purchased some nice flat circular indicators that will have to be mountedsome how. I feel a metal plate going into the hole and some small welding coming on.

Took the rear bumper off and not much to do really just a bit of tidying up with the rear lenses.

Will try and post some photos of what i am blathering about tomorrow.

note no mention of christmas! (Damn)

Yes, well, sometimes the best thing to do with Christmas is to not mention it... damn, now *I've* mentioned it too... ;-)
