Dont worry. The paint is peeling in mine so it looks tired. Sad thing is you cant see all the magic as its hidden away.

Wont be coming in the Convertible this year as I need to get some bigger battery cable....Another tip. Put the battery in the boot....and use 35mm battery cable. Means you can actually get at the engine a lot better.

I will be in the Coupe though. Just need to change the clutch as its starting to go....Thats what happens when you have 135 horses or more on an A series AP race clutch.

im nearly there i have got braided brake hoses

well its a start.

I make my own goodridge hoses up and throw the copper pipes in the bin (ie I make longer ones straight to the t piece) where ever possible. Really easy to make at home.

i can see a trip to blackpool coming on i really wanna see them they are amazing i take it you have got the best midases on here then

You are welcome to pop in for a brew anytime.

I wouldnt say I have the best Midas though. Its all subjective I guess. I know theres a K series Convertible lurking thats nice

Russels was a very nice example too. A right Peach to look at.

are there any pictures of it on here i have seen the k series convertable i was gonna buy it on ebay i have seen the orange one with the headlamps chopped out and converted to pop ups but they look like eagle ss lights to me have you owned any other kit cars

No I never had any other kit car than the 2 I have. I nearly bought a new GTM Coupe before Midas had the fire. Always liked the Midas ever since I saw the review of the Black one against the Honda back in the day 1980's. When Pastiche started selling it at a price I could afford I bought the white convertible.

I dont mind the latest GTM incarnations though. They are nice. but not into the plague of super 7 lookalikes.

And heres the blue one. Before and after LOL.

I've been taking a sly look at all those photos you've been posting too, and given a chance for a close-up inspection, I imagine you'd see me drooling. There's some seriously tasty engineering there.

Thank you. Takes a lot of money and patience but they are my little toys. LOL.

Everytime I get in them I have a beaming smile. Not to everyones taste but they do it for me.

A lot of the stuff I did was to iron out things I didnt like. One of them being rust. I had the convertible sat around for a few years and when I came back to it all the work I had done was rusty underneath, hence the reason to go to Ti for instance.

The KAD engine was an indulgence. I looked at them with envy when I was 20. Had to wait 20 years to save up for it but it is a work of art for an A series. I cant stop looking at it .
