Widget the Midget
From this …
A rubber bumpered skip complete with a large amount of spiders, rust and unwanted drainage and ventilation holes.
To this …
A very pretty RWA Iris blue midget
And she passed her MOT first time, the first one in 8 years.
OK, Midget Update …
01/03/2008
Finally got around to lowering the front end. The original ‘new’ springs measures 10.25″ free length, rated at 270Lbs. The new lowered springs come in at 8.28″ rated at 340lbs. This results in a MASSIVE difference in ride height as well as a huge impreovement in handling. The front wheels now have a small element of positive camber. The car is now riding exactly 2″ lower at the front and finally looks the part. Only problem now is the exhaust scrapes on the drive as you enter or leave!
Giving away Widget….
Widget the Midget was my wife, Hilary’s car. She drove Widget at every opportunity until she could no longer drive due to her illness. After she passed away in 2015 I decided to implement the long term MG plan with immediate effect.
Each of the boys was to be given one of the MG’s so they would both own a car that Dad built. Accordingly, Widget the Midget has passed into Alex’s capable hands. like his Mum, he drives the car at every opportunity and takes her on runs and to shows throughout the year.
