Eclectic Motorworks' Carl Heideman set out to make a Miata-killer of our "rust-free" 1971 Midget.
The nuts and bolts of making a fast, reliable and streetable Midget motor.
How drivable is our Midget? We piloted it on a 1200-mile journey from Carlisle to find out.
It's been a long wait, but the results of our engine rebuild are worth it.
Now that the body is painted we can start reassembly.
The Midget is finally painted and we'll be showing more pictures of the painting process (and revealing the color) in the next issue of Classic Motorsports.
We tackle some final metal work before we start the bondo.
The floors are replaced, now we can tackle the body panles in need of help on top.
After sandblasting, we start working on the underside of the tub.
The start of any project can be daunting, but we walk you through updating a classic.
