Interior Gutted, No More Mouse Urine Smell!

 We have removed the two seats and six pieces of cockpit trim.  These will be taken to Too Tall Tim in OH by the car's owner, where Too Tall will rebuild the seats and recover the cockpit trim in the red color selected by the owner.  Here's the removed parts ready to go (yes there is a second seat behind the first one):

We had a heck of a time getting the seats out, lots of rusty bolts.

We then removed the black carpet which had been holding the awful smell.  Carpet tacks had been used to hold it down, which we removed.

We were able to take the ignition switch to a local key shop, they used the code on the switch to look up the key pattern and make us a key.  We hope it's not indicative of a demonic car, the code was FP 666.

We also installed a battery cutoff switch, a Miata battery, and lines for a trickle charger, like we do on all MGA's.  For some reason this car's body had more room between the body and the frame for installation of the switch.

Then tried again to start the engine.  There continues to be no spark.  We are stumped as to why no spark.  We have checked and cleaned the points, replaced some marginal wiring situations, even tried another coil.  We have a friend coming by in a few days to help us, he's another club members with years of experience with these little cars, probably something simple....
