The Mite
Part 1
Getting the cars
 |
This is the pair of cars as they sat in the L.A. area. They had been sitting for quite some time in the open, collecting rain and leaves. I intended to take the best parts of the two cars and make one good car out of them. The Blue one is a 1965 Austin Healey Sprite. |
 |
The red car, a 74 MG Midget, on the flatbed getting ready for the trip to Phoenix. I had hoped to fit them both on the trailer at the same time, but they would not fit. I had to make two trips. |
 |
The Sprite in the garage. |
 |
Overall it is in pretty good shape, except for the usual rust on the floorboards and at the bottom of the A-pillars |
 |
The interior is SHOT! the seat frames are rusted and corroded, the floors are rusted through.... |
 |
This seat is toast. I'll put in some cloth replacement seats. |
 |
The grille is in pretty good shape, the bumper needs to be straightened and rechromed and the hood has rust on the front seam. |
 |
948 cc's of incredible power! |
