Morris Minor Owners Club

hi guys,
i've had this a few weeks now, thought i'd better share on here.
some of you have seen it before.

roof is chopped 4 1/2" rear screen full height layed forward, new steel rear wings.
box chassis front to back, all running gear mounted above including exhaust.
front end is minor uprights with coil overs, rear is triangulated 4-bar. on coil overs.
it sits over 11" lower than standard minor!!!
engine, gearbox and back axle all stock. metro carb and manifold.
marina front disc brakes, citroen master and servo.
front track has been narrowed to allow full turning circle.
fitted with a pair of low back bucket seats, no door cards,roof lining or anything inside which resembles comfort!!! did find a pair of ear plugs though!!!

not all the pics below are mine, and one has previous owner standing by it.



















cheers chris.

Thats COOL!! I like it but just dont understand why anyone would put that much work in to hot rodding it and leave the a-series engine in there, it should be blessed with a nice V8 or something cool to match the cars style I got nothing against the a-series.

i will change engine but going to keep it a 4pot, power to weight ratio will be plenty!!! as it
only weighs 700kilos!

that is pretty damn nice!!! i was going to do roof chop on my minor, but becuase im doing so much other modifications i would have been issued a q plate for it, so beware, as you have allready changed it quite alot, after a new engine and box, you could have a q plate.

Blimmey thats light! what engine have you planned?

That front view is fantastic, never seen such a purposeful looking Minor.

cheers guys,

heres a pic of rear seat, this was made up by sailmaker at work during breaks etc, not much time went into it,
the vinyl was roof material suppose to go with my hotrod pop!!!
its got piped edges, velcro to hold down. made to my patterns so if it don't fit i know who to blame!!!
at least the kids will have something comfy(ish) to sit on!!!

that is one of the nicest chops i have seen and its so low! that makes me happy in special ways...

Congrats on a great looking Minor!

i like the hand granade gear stick! I am currenty trying to modify mine to fit a colt peacemaker!

cheers,
the grenade is going as is the stick, weighs a ton and putting strain on the box.

i've got a standard stick which i'll put a slight extension on.

heres a pic of it last night!!!

thats my worry, the replica peacemaker is heavy, i'm hoping the abarth box can take it

i'll have to get an updated pic as its even longer and more twisted now!!!

took this photo last week when i was off work(yes ill!!!!) parked up on the afternoon school run.

blimey, it looks even lower than it did before! is it running ok these days?

i thought you sold this???

its running fine thanks. it does look low compared to the euro boxes there!!!
nope not sold, still up for swaps.
