I saved this a long time ago, because I was planning on doing something similar.

It's not exactly like I would do it, but I still think it's fairly tasteful.


1. I kind of like how he took the internals of the rubber bumper, cleaned them up and had them chromed.
  
2. I would have fitted an earlier model bumper, but this works too.

3. He also did a small bumper across the front.
  
4. Plus he filled in the large bumper bracket holes and put in small front markers from a bugeye.

5. Another rear shot. He tastefully incorporated the earlier "Midget" trunk badge.
  
6. The whole car is finished nicely.

7. The interior is nice too.
  
8. And he got a nice wood rimmed wheel.

9. He's got a weber, and probably headers.
  
10. The whole engine compartment is nice too, but it looks like he just capped the heater.

11. Fit and finish turned out well.
  
12. Nice new interior panels.

13. I'm just rambling at this point, but it was all pretty nice.
  
14. Color matched top frame, and seat belt reels.

15. Nice new top.
  
16. Looks like he got the stainless license plate mount.

17. He must have cut off the stock front bumper mounts.
  
18. He refinished the wheels nicely as well.

19. Mountney is a good old British brand.
  
20. Chromed shifter ring.

21. I think his use of badges are fairly tasteful.
  
22. The side badge is in good shape.

23. The little bumper looks ok, but it's not the style I would have used.
  
24. From the looks of it those side vents are just the magnetic stick-ons.

There will be more picture of more Midgets and Sprites.
