You don't read this list much, do you?  8^)  Along with Moss and Victoria 
British, there are some source that don't cover such wide varieties of cars.  
I've gotten some decent parts deals through "Mini Mania", and they deal in Used 
parts, too, if you like.  Their number is 800-626-4201.

Lindsay Porter authored a book called something like "MG Midget Purchase and 
DIY 
Restoration Guide".  Its got a lot of photos, but a little less text than I'd 
like.  I would say that its certainly worth buying, though, before starting a 
project like this.


Good Luck,
