A Wireless Future

Alloy Wheels, I think the midget is going to have alloy wheels. What this really means is that I am stealing the axles and corners off of the 76 and will be trying to sell a set of wire wheels, rear axle and corners in a short time. So if you are interested in some truly British Motoring parts let me know.

Hopefully the alloy axle will be able to handle the power of the blower, otherwise I may have to accelerate my search for a custom driveline for the car.

I should have a nice update for all of you in about a week, when I return to work on the rotisserie and plan out the work on the floors.

All About Rust

The nice thing about a plant shut-down is that I got to spend almost two full weeks back at the ranch. That certainly gave me plenty of time to work right?!? You are correct and I spent most of that time... woodworking, I was building a workbench for my apartment, but fear not Spritacus did receive its fair share of work. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures, partly because the car is in rough shape at the moment, I originally though that only the passenger floors under the seats would have to come out, I was mistaken. Rust and its companion holes have taken over my MG. It looks as though the passenger floor from rear spring shackle to forward foot well needs to come out. Luckily I purchased the floor repair panels from Moss Motors a while ago and they are waiting patiently to be installed.

With the limited amount of cutting that I did do I found more hidden rust. I wonder why the Brits even put drain holes in their cars. With the additional work that will have to be carried out on the floors it looks to be a good time to build a rotisserie for the car. Excess 1 inch heavy wall pipe from a failed well, weeks earlier, and some 2 inch pipe from the local 'home' improvement store looks to me the needed ingredients for a home build car spinner. This is heads up to keep your eyes open for the story of the up-coming rotisserie build!

Also news on the engine, the continuing search of 5 speeds, and Floor-o-rama are all coming up!
