Welcome to the forum Trevor. Fantastic to be owning such a piece of Midas history. I hope you got her back on the road soon.

I can scan them if you want a copy

Welcome to the forum.

Your story is very similar to my own, I built my MK 2 in 89 and drove it for a few years, but family commitments amongst other things forced me to put the car into retirement, but now I'm in a position to try and get the car back on the road again. Also I'm a newbie to this forum and found the members very friendly and helpful.

Good luck with the rebuild.

It seems I'm doing things the wrong way around as I did the family thing then bought my Midas. Now it's nearing completion and trust me I'm not sure who's more excited to be in the thing me or my daughter
