@kingbleah and as of now the engine has seized. i believe the head gasket went out from over heating too many times and we let it sit for the winter and it just wont turn over. the next plans are going to be putting a toyota 4L diesel into it.
I love those cars. We are originally from England. My mums first car was a brown MGB GT fastback with the wire wheels, and my brother is actually in the process of buying a green MG Midget for his first car.
I always liked the "look" of the Midgets and Sprites but I have seen enough of them with burned out motors to know they suffer from oil coolant problems and toast their own engines after only about 6,000 miles. Buy an oversized oil cooler-maybe even an oversized oil pan! (You're going to need it...)
The price seems a tad high, 3000 seems more reasonable. Plus you have non original seats (what car did they come from?), and the engine bay is painted the wrong colors for the most part. On the other hand, I heard a tiny bit of gearbox whine. I converted to a 5 speed a few years ago. I like the datsun box but oh how I miss that noise! You just made my day. thanks.

It went well, until the owner sold it to another person. Right now he is waiting to find an MGB with a Chevy 350 in it.
