1977 MG Midget
I've owned this car for ~4 months and only driven it for joyrides to the beach. When I first bought it, I had it freshly registered, smogged, and inspected by the British Sports Cars mechanics.
What's new from the previous owner:
- Exhaust system
- Belts
- Hoses
- Thermostat
- Temp. sensor
- Water pump gaskets
- Trunk seal
- Headrest covers
- Wheel accent rings
My new contributions:
- Ignition coil (car idles smoothly @ 8.5k rpm)
- Wiper blades
- Clutch master cylinder (& freshly bled clutch line)
- Newly registered & smogged (smogged = tuned carb)
- Wheel alignment
- Front right shock absorber mount repaired
What's included:
- All paper documents of the car's history since ~2000
- Hard-top
- Convertible soft-top
- Tonneau cover (open-top seat cover)
- Brown leather suitcase that buckles onto the rear luggage rack
- Box of small misc. spare parts
- 1 qt. of unopened Valvoline High Zinc 20W-50 oil (the most recommended oil for the car)(I meant to do a compression test but didn't get around to it)
- Spare grill
- Tune-up guide book
- Driver's handbook
- Moss Motors magazine parts list
I love this little car, but I learned the hard way that I can't work on a car if I don't have a garage (I live in an apartment, so it lives on the street). With that being said, I have a list of things I've wanted to work on:
- Heater/defogger doesn't work (likely a broken fan)
- Old e-brake pads (they still work, but aren't strong)
- Loose middle wiper pivot (the car has 3 wipers, but this middle wiper makes partial contact; simply tighten it from the inside)
- Broken cigarette lighter
- Window washers don't work (likely a dead motor)
- No radio antenna = no radio (I covered the antenna hole with a black rubber plug)
- No door keys (need to take the car to a locksmith)
