hi all heres my project its a rusty pile that somewhat resembles a morris minor haha plans are to do some body work and body work and get it looking tidy'ish  ive got to completely replace the rear wing mounting flange's as they somewhat resemble a tea bag hehe hope to have it done in two years so I can drive it when I'm legal I'm hoping to tinker with the engine and I hopefully want it to look like a pic I photoshoped only red oxide and with scallops on the side i'll shut up now and show you all the pics haha   and heres the photoshopped pic ;D  |

Welcome mr Merkin.
Nice for a first ride.
Room to play at affordable insurance.

nice ride, my minor was my first car and definetly the way to go, cheap (ish) insurance, easy to work on and lots of rear wheel drive fun through the country lanes at relativly low speeds.
Once you get it on the road and insured, the "usual" running gear modifications can add a little more fun quite cheaply. Plus all the mini tuning stuff fits so theres plenty of fun to be had there too.
The rear wing flange is a pain, just take it easy, make lots of measurements and get in there You'll probably need to fix the inner wing too. Small patches are ok, but the whole inner wing is a pain.
enjoy!

I agree. The morris minor scene can get a little stale, this would be something new! (ironically!)

Would take a fair amount of work, but just imagine being different.... now that is nice, and you are on the way there already.
Rather than plastic up another Saxo, Corsa, Fiesta, you are getting to learn something useful, and being massively different to your mates.
Oh, and I am sure your dad is chuffed and proud of you too.

Hi Vonmerkin, How is your going? I liked this look you photoshopped:  Are you going to the National Rally next week and are you on the MMOC site under a different name? Cheers, madmog |
