That's what I did for my '78 Midget. Went to get parts from a guy parting
out a '78, got several items I needed/wanted, and he threw in the boot
(trunk) lid for another buck. I got it for two reasons: 1st to practice
body work on, 2nd to reinforce and add a rack to.
So if I blow the body work I've only wasted a buck on a spare part.
And if I do okay on the boot work I'll have a spare boot lid with an
attached luggage rack, and reinforced bracketing to avoid future bending.
I also got the two rear shock absorbers/dampeners in good condition for
$20usd. Did I do okay?

ps, did you know that a Jeep front axel housing assembly will fit in the
trunk/boot of a Midget? It only stuck out a "few" feet. But I got it
home with no damage to the Midget or the housing. :)
