[Spridgets] Rick Bastedo and an opportunity

[Richard Ball]

Hello,
As many of you know one of our own, Rick Bastedo passed away last year.  I am working to help Rick’s wife Vicky find a new home for his ‘78 Midget.  The car has been sitting for a couple years and will need a going through of at least the hydraulics and fuel system to get it back on the road but other wise should be a fairly solid car for someone.  This is the same car that he and his son drive back to Elkhart lake back in 2011.  As anyone who has worked on Rick’s car knows he had made several modifications to it including a bugeye bonnet, Datsun engine and transmission, Miata heated seats, and aluminum wheels.  I have included a picture of it from the past on the road.  I have current pictures but they are 4 to 5 MB so to large to send out unless requested.  I will try to reduce them.
Vicky's goal would be to find someone who would keep the car together and get it back on the road to enjoy as much as she and Rick did.  Failing that we will investigate other options.  If you or someone you know think this sounds interesting please let me know.  We would like to have this moved on while the weather is dry so Vicky can take care of some things she needs to around the house.  The car is located in Snoqualmie Wa, just east of Seattle.
