While you guys were getting snow, I took the MG Midget out for it's first test drive. I needed a few clips installed on the new tonneau cover, so I figured why not bring the car out. These (legal) tires are terrible in the snow! haha.
Came home with a long list of things I need to attend to. For starters, the brake bleed is terrible. It might just be a bad front wheel bearing allowing the disc to push the pads back. The '63 Midget doesn't use taper wheel bearings, so you can't adjust for worn bearings. Seriously. How the British motoring industry made it out of the War era I'll never understand. Annnnyhow, I've got tapered bearings coming...but I have to figure out a shim solution because you can't setup the tapered bearings properly without shims. Argg.
The tach doesn't work, the speedo doesn't work, the driver's side heated seat is on all the time, and it has some other electrical gremlins. But it runs, drives, oil pressure and coolant temps were great!
It is gutless though. Wow is it gutless.
