This was the sixth car completely rebuilt in front of the camera for the Project Car series, the bodywork being done in the Lindsay Porter workshop. A restoration project such as this gives the owner a good insight into all the problems than can arise and their solutions. This books shows panel replacement, 1275cc engine rebuild, trim and all mechanical components. A supplement covers the rebuild of a 'Frog-eye' Sprite.
This is a reprint of a series of articles on a project MKIII Midget in rough shape. They do things the hard way and cut out old rust, weld in patch panels and make some patches of their own. This shows step by step just how the restoration was completed with a ton of photographs and tips on how to get the job done. Most of the focus is given to the Mk III Midget/MKIV Sprite restoration work to the body, but some time is spent discussing the restoration they did on a Mark I Sprite. Also included is an article on purchasing a Spridget, and rebuilding the A-series gearbox. It is a brief, concise, and helpful resource with a rare insight into bringing a bodyshell back from the brink.
