Great suggestion. On my Midget (and my Mini), I plan to coat floor, sills and firewall with POR-15 <URL:http://www.por15.com/>. This should pretty well stop any rust. -- Matt Liggett <mliggett@pobox.

Please elaborate. The only claims I have read have been in magazine reviews and on the 'net from people who have used it. What problems did you experience? -- Matt Liggett <mliggett@pobox.com> : 1960

I had this done along with cleaning, painting, decking, new valves, seats, stems on my A-series head. Total was just over $300. Not bad. Call your machine shop and ask them about pricing. They'll be

Interesting. I've always been told that the head gasket is the only one that goes on dry. Clean, true faces and a clean, dry gasket. I've done this with 2 head gaskets on my Midget with no problems.

It's been done to a Midget, so I don't see why you couldn't do it to a B. See the writeup on team.net: http://www.team.net/www/mg/tech/midget/engswapa.html -- Matt Liggett <mliggett@pobox.com> : 1960

Eh? It's ~ 20% wider, 40% heavier, has unitized construction (Elan had backbone chassis), upper/lower a-arm rear suspension (Elan had lower a-arm, chapman strut), steel bodied (Elan was fiberglass).

Yes, the Yugo was a license-built Fiat. The materials selected were very poor. Anyway, engine parts, wheels, etc. from Fiat do fit. I had 2 Yugos and I'm not afraid to admit it! -- Matt Liggett <mlig
