Thought I'd best get around to starting a build thread for my mk2
Here's the reason I have bought it....
In 1981/2 my father built a Midas from scratch, he used it as his daily car for a few years but was forced to sell it in 85 because I was born. He sold it to a local guy and it was never seen again until may when my father bumped into the guy in a shop, after a quick chat it turned out it was still in his garage and it was for salelast time he used it was 1988. I had to have it! I'm not sure how many mk2's where built? But this one is chassis no.91 so I'm guessing it's pretty early
As it arrived
The previous owner had removed the cooper S engine my father fitted but it was included in the sale
My father bought some 5x12 cosmics with the kit, they where in the guys attic
Since then I've not really done much, just started stripping parts off it. The engine bay is pretty much empty now plus the interior is stripped.
I did discover a handy cup holder
