		<title>K-Series Headgasket myths!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi all, progress on the midget build has slowed down since I&#8217;ve moved back to uni again. I have recieved some new parts which I will show at a later date. For now I thought I&#8217;d share an article fom PPC magazine regarding the K-series engine and its reputation for blowing headgaskets. It talks about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stripping the Midget Part3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 1275cc engine and original gearbox is now out of the engine bay, making way for a K-series! We had a few little problems on the way which we overcame. The first was that the hoist we bought was too high off the floor and wouldn&#8217;t go under the midget&#8217;s wishbones without lifting it with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stripping the Midget Part2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More progress on the stripping front, the original 1275cc engine is very nearly ready to come out. All that is left is the throttle cable on the engine and the rest of the gearbox stuff like the prop shaft, gear lever and clutch linkage.


The wings didn&#8217;t really want to be removed, with just one awkward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stripping the Midget Part1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally started work on the Midget after what seems like ages! I started by removing the bonnet followed by the headlights and surrounding chrome so I can remove the wings. I&#8217;ve also removed some of the inner panels and found that the inner wings have a replacement panel on there which doesn&#8217;t look too [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Taking The Fifth&#8217; Type 9 Article</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a brilliant Type 9 article that I found a couple of years ago, I can&#8217;t seem to find the original link so I hope its OK to put this on here. It looks like the article is originally from Retro Cars Magazine and it covers the Ford Type 9 gearbox in detail from identifying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kseries Useful Manuals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a few useful manuals that I&#8217;ve come across during my K midget research. The first is a Rover manual for overhauling the K-series which also includes the VVC engine and could prove to be very useful. The second is a manual for the Rover 200 Cooling System which covers the 8v and 16v Kseries [...]]]></description>

		<title>PPC May 2005: Modified Midgets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d post these scans from Practical Performance Car, May 2005 edition. The article is called &#8216;Modified Midgets: Faster than an Evo 0-60 in 4.6 sec&#8217; and covers the K conversion in detail. It also has information on tuning the rest of the car to match its new found power. Click the images below [...]]]></description>

		<title>Donor Car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d post a bit about the donor car we&#8217;re using, its a 98 Rover 200 Vi. It has the 1.8 litre VVC engine that produces 143bhp as standard. At some point the bonnet had flipped up, dented the roof and smashed the windscreen! We drove it back like this from Oxford and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ford Type 9 V6 Gearbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re at the stage of gathering parts, ready for the rebuild in the summer. So far we have a Rover 200 Vi (more info to follow) and this lovely Ford type 9 gearbox. Its a recon box from a 2.8 V6 Capri, we&#8217;re unsure of the mileage but it looks to be in good condition. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firstly welcome to my blog! I&#8217;ve created this to document the restoration/butchering of my 1973 MG Midget. She was my first car and is now sitting in the garage very poorly. On the way back from Leeds last year she blew a water hose whilst on the M62 in rush hour. Luckily I had breakdown [...]]]></description>
