Morris Minor Owners Club

mocked up the v8 this week

Thats nuts . Where is that front front if you don't mind me asking? And what is the final spec going to be?

fronts from a friend,dunno where its from. its got jag running gear,rover v8 3.5,bw35 box,4" chop, fibreglass bootlid,just needs fettling.

Definitely looks purposeful!
What colour do you plan?
Can't see any way that front will open, or close, using the standard hinges.

PHOARRR!!!

Thats looking lovley!!

What size wheels/tyres are they?

front will open forward eventually, wheels are temporary,15" jaguar, but i will need 17" to accomadate the front brakes.

Lovely roof chop and AWESOME flip front, never seen one like that. I'd say definitely fit some massive arch flares or wider arches at the back...
Looks wicked man, look forward to seeing more pics

Also have you built this on a space frame chassis or have you modified the existing monocoque?

Looks grand, so a more robust version of the monocoque sort of I guess?
Are you mounting the sub frame from the donor car onto that chassis then? it looks like there is one sitting underneath the rails in picture 1

yep, all welded into place

Good stuff, looking forward to seeing more pictures as the project develops

Crrrrrikey!
