Re: New conversion kit???
i can imagine that in the boot, and a pokey little 1.1 still up the front. just keep one in neutral while you're running the other. great for economy, overtaking, and in the event of a breakdown!

Re: New conversion kit???
That is a lot of money! For that kind of cash you could buy a decent fast car and then not have to bother with fitting this kit and ruining a Minor in the process. I can't see that the resulting vehicle would drive very well at all.
OK for the hot hatch modifying types, Clio's , Saxo's, Corsa's which the kit was designed for.

Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Re: New conversion kit???
I'm starting (well, not really, as I now wait for your negative comments
) to get the impression that you're not too keen on modifying the Minor chickenjohn
I'm surprised that there are still blinkered folk out there - a Minor is not a rare car, and owners should be able to do what they like with them. How boring is a rally field full of standard cars?

Re: New conversion kit???
i wouldnt say its ruining the minor, it would still pretty much look the same. i personally think its cheap as your getting alot for your money, although fitting it would be a complete bitch i imagine.
and i totally agree with what plastic orange said, must be an amazing site to be in a field and see the exact same car over and over but in different colours...
us modifiers are simply taking a work of art and making it better

Re: New conversion kit???
Looks great but I don't think that price includes the engine!! You could fabricate most of these parts yourself and save you a load of money. But you could fabricate your own kit to suit the Morris 

Re: New conversion kit???
If all goes well I will have something similar using a mr2 and a pick up
After reading some of the comments I'm a bit concerned now that I mite not get concourse at the nationals

Re: New conversion kit???
gotta be worth a phone call for a quotefull 'drive in drive out' service, ring for details

you'd certainly stand out from the crowd at the shows

Re: New conversion kit???
At the moment nothing worth showing, hoping to have it sat on wheels by march
Just a load of bits sat on the garage floor at min. But as soon as it looks something like a truck I'll post
Cheers

Re: New conversion kit???
You would have to modify the Morris loads to make that fit more than likely to space frame it with the correct mounting point to accept the back however if you were to do this you would include the mr part in your initial plans
Also you would have to ditch the front engine or convert the front to fwd with the same engine as the rear then you would have 4wd
Lot of work indeed
