Im doing a 66 midget with a 1500 as well. Mine is stripped and now doing body panel work like you did... floorpan, aPillar, lower hinge, inner footwell, inner and outer sills... i was intimidated by all the cutting and welding so had stopped work for over a year. Your vids have given me hope (and a guide) into what i need to do and which order. Currently a flintstones mobile (no passenger floor)... well done and thanks for posting your work... very nice indeed. All my motor and drivetrain is done ... just waiting for cancer removal from body..
I too have been waiting for these vids to continue - I have one 1500 completely stripped for a long term project - and one I am trying to do a "quick" sills and patching job. I've been getting some good tips from you - thanks
nice video!! do you have any instagram or facebook page? I need some advice about my 1979 1500 mg midget machine... do I need to replace it with the same model or what other engine is compatible with my car? I wait your answer. Thank you
This might be a stupid question...but would you not get zapped by touching the battery connectors while unbolting the contacts? /using non coated wrenches?
Joey LaCivita don’t complete the circuit. Remove negative terminal first, they way they body isnt going to complete the circuit (assuming negative earth)

So glad I subscribed! Keep it up.
JuliansRandomProject thanks so much for watching! I really enjoy your EV midget project, definitely something id like to try!
woo-hoo! It's begun. I promise not to drool on the paint job, when you get it all finished.....
Is removing the front essential for the engine removal ? I need to replace gearbox as mine has ate itself and believe easier to remove engine with box
No not at all, engine and gearbox can be lifted out of a fully assmbled car. A hoist is essential and getting the angle right :)

Those dollies were definitely £65 well spent!

+Joey LaCivita if you connected positive to body With a wrench, with earth connected, you sure would!
@@VisionAutoGarage alright, so as long as I don't touch the other contact I can stay away from crispy fingers? Awesome, thanks for the response!
