1979 MG Midget 1500 Restoration. Documenting the life and times of one man as he attempts to resurrect a 1979 MG Midget, on a budget. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Well, the holidays are over. I didn't make as much progress as I'd have liked, since the last entry. I have made some, though. I've continued doing filler/sanding work. The front valance is still a challenge, to get the curve just right, and I will give it some more attention this weekend, when it is warmer.

Yesterday, made good progress on a number of things:. Painted POR-15 in the inner bottom of the doors. Driver's door, which is original, had quite a bit of rust, so this will stop it. Continued sanding/filling/sanding door panels, and am pretty much done on that front. Will go back and re-check today.

In order to 'cut to the chase', as they say, I'm going to summarize the last 5 years:. I brought the car back to Arkansas in 2005, whereupon I attempted to catalog the various loose parts. Hmmm. Shotgun shells. Unless the motor starts like the airplane Jimmy Stewart flew in ' Flight of the Phoenix'. It's been a busy week...

Driver's door pillar devoid of primer. With filler, after sanding. Small dent near back-up light. Repair of trunk dent.
