My uncle told me about this site so I decided to make a profile. So the project I am working on is a 1965 mg midget and I’m doing all ford running gear besides motor and trans. What I am on here for is I’m looking and seeing what is available at times when I have the money to spend on parts. What I’m looking for is a mustang 2 front clip a-arms anything stock suspension (i will upgrade later just need mock up non bent) ford 9” rear end ( I know they are somewhat hard to come by) but worth a shot. I am doing a 327 with t5 trans if anyone was curious. If anyone could steer me in the direction of parts that would be great.

Hi. Post a wanted ad in the for sale section. Do you have pictures of your MG Midget?

A Midget with a V8 is going to be terrifying. AWESOME!

9" rear ends are awesome, no doubt, but in your application, way overkill. You can accomplish the same result at a lot lower cost if you go with an 8.8 out of a '86-'04 Mustang. 8.8's are crazy strong, way more plentiful and a lot more affordable.

Listen to wilit the Mustang Messiah. Use a Ford 8.8" rear end. You don't want a 9".

People have posted build progress threads. It will be good to see your car progress from start to finish.
