I brought home a midget

[khryslerkid]

How well did the floor panels and body panels hold up against being in a salt state? I don't believe they used galvanized steel in those cars.

The MGs weren't any better. Getting in and out of these aren't that easy either.
I found this '69 B in a garage. It had been parked for 33 years. After getting it running I found that the passenger side floor was separated from the inner rocker. I wasn't getting into all of that. Sold it the next week.

I had put new rockers on that midget, and a few lower patches....... this was 1989/90; we caught it early

The Midgets were just too small for my taste, but the MGB’s were no problem for me back in the day. Fun to drive. My 64 (background). Pulled the motor and tranny twice to have the second gear sync fixed. Later had that dark green color in a 1970.

I'll get in tomorrow and have the wife take a pic

as promised......... I'm 6-0 235, getting in wasn't really difficult other than swinging my left foot in. If I wasn't wearing work boots, it may not have been an issue. Once inside, I can easily work the pedals, shift gears, and steer. Wife compares it to "Herman Munster in a tuna can"........ needs fresh gas, and the brakes gone through; I can't wait to go for a ride

That's why I've got a sedan delivery.

It's a lot easier with the top down.

My friend from school had a '62 Austin Healy Sprite. He was 6' and was always wearing out clutches. He was riding the pedal too much. There was a tree in his yard that we would use to pull the motor and trans. We got pretty good at it after two or three times.

Here ya go.
