Just a note to let you know I am progressing well with restoring my old midget #88. I have located a maggie for it now so have all the main parts to finish it. Could you put a wanted add on your site for two (2) rear tires from memory they were 500/950-13 or something similar would do. I can't use the Dunlops that they are making now as the car only ran those for 1 year and when I made the new quick change I had to go to bigger rims. Site is still the best keep up the good work. Lets do it in the dirt.

Would prefer a VW Autocraft, Chevy 2, Sesco or Offy powerplant with Gardner chassis although this is flexible.

I am particularlly keen one of the many USA cars that came to Australia during that time, gardner chassis etc. Anyone interested please email me and if you have any pics of the car that would be appreciated.
