so the idea of a twinky mini has me captivated.... been searching for the perfect 'shell' to start my project for while now. (even though funds may not be there...?!?)

BUT..... (is it sacrilegious to ask here?).... would a twinky conversion work on a MG midget? Similar A-series engine no? Rear wheel drive! Open top fun! Weighs bugger all and would/could make a great little track car, no???

Any thoughts.....

PS. For all the 'twinky' advocates in Sydney, where or who does one see to get something done!?! QLD & SA cant have all the fun surely........

Is this a joke Cause it would and would be a whole lotta fun....have you placed your order with Matt yet

What about a low light morry 1000?

I knew someone who put a 302 windsor into a midget (or was it a sprite?) anyhow the ones that were twins of each other.

No it wasn't road legal, was a hillclimb/club car only.

Esp with turbo power it would be absolutely insane. Another of my dream builds to do.

Might need to get a stronger diff and gearbox though, but im no mg expert.

I have the perfect thing for a twinky conversion. An Austin Montego.
Plenty of room for the carbies or injection or turbo or blower...

There is a guy from sydney named Collin Dodds, top guy, any of you Sprite fans out there would had to have heard of him. He runs a Sprite specialist shop,,,,

He's got one like that Its called the "Fright" and its got a 2.4ltr Jag motor in it....

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't fit on a RWD A series.

Yes, I know Colin, but the one I was referring to was in Bathurst.

There is (was?) a twinky Goggomobile in Canberra. One cam in front and one in the back ...each with its own A series attached:)

Cheers, Ian

Ah ha,,, i have already sold quite a few kits to both Morry-minor & Spridget people,,, be on the look-out for them in the near future



Funny tho, as when first i did my Twinky K-onversion Kits, i didn`t even think about Morry & Spridget people, but the phone rang & well,,, the rest is history

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

What else to say?
