[Spridgets] Hi, I'm new. Please help me and my '76

[Robert Duquette]

My garage is full of junk, because I can't bring myself to be the one who 
destroyed one of our precious little cars.  I have a titled bondo bucket ( 
always forget if it is a '64 or '66 ), a rust free titled '73 that was 
rear-ended ( needs RR fender and rear deck, among other things ). my titled 
RHD '65 ( 'The Sprite' ) that needs the bottom few inches replaced.  Add to 
that, my '67 MG driver that is deteriorating.  I have projects to keep me 
busy for awhile.

I missed picking up a '69 Midget last weekend that was "too rusty" by about 
2 hours.  I sent the email as he was hauling it to the recyclers where it 
was picked off his trailer; dropped in a truck; and hauled away to places 
unknown for meltdown.  I was thinking that I would have a surplus of parts 
if I got it and it was as rusty as he said ( he didn't go into details ), 
and I would be able to give them to those in need.  In reality, I would 
probably have ended up saying to myself that it could be fixed ... someday.

Maybe, but they're a dime-a-dozen in California.  Here in NH,
even my fully-galvanized-body Audi has some rust.  Even the
pine trees along the highway are rust-colored; my guess is
they're dying from the salt.
