MG Midget...V8 in disguise..Super Sprite

[Flying Phil]

This car has been through several iterations and started like this... |https://thumbsnap.com/98aC9sFW[/url]

After it became a Tube chassied Competion Altered.

Then I bought this 1500 Midget, it was a bit bent...

It was straightened and my old Sprite body panels used, together with a roll cage and Rover V8 engine. Several resprays later...

Here it is just before it went back into my garage. The hood is only placed in position.

Nice!
Must be a hoot to drive.

Ooh, what are you going to do to it?

Hi Sooty
I will put my spare doors on with wind up windows, install the hood and put the silenced exhaust pipes back on. I do have another bonnet with a smaller bulge, but that needs the 6" ram pipes taking off, so I will decide that later.

Well I haven't changed the doors etc .... and had put it back in the garage until now. Then I was inspired by our local car show to get my toys out.

Whilst the V8 Sprite was out in the sun I finally finished part of my rewiring and ran the front wiring loom up through the chassis leg that supported the "Rubber Bumper" in its previous life.
Needless to say it was a "faff" getting the five wires for the ignition module and coil out of one hole and the lighting circuit out of the other hole. However after three tries it was completed....now to get the connections done!

Hi DaimlerV8
Your "spare" looks better than my starting point.... But I hope your health issue is getting sorted.
