Show me: moggy minors

[mini-mad-nick]

Hi, just wondering if you could post some pictures of morris minors that have been lowered. Also ones that have had an engine conversion i.e toyota, fiat, v8 etc etc

Thanks

Nick

[octagonalpaul]

in my opinion anything that works on a beetle will work on a minor, it's a shame we don't see more crazy Minors around

[mini-mad-nick]

Damn some nice Mogs there Paul loving the grey one under the blown traveller. That would be mint with a nice 1330 with a BMW 16v bike head conversion and a turbo or a Honda s2000 vtec turbo slung under there

How much better would this thread have been if you'd found a few worthy examples yourself before asking others? This is a forum based on sharing...it's not a search engine.

It's actually got 400+bhp of turbo'd Fiat twincam in it.

Back in the late 70's through to the early 90's my dad customised a morris minor. Unfortunatly, one day some tool braked hard infront of my dad in a bit road rage and caused my dad to smash into the back of him. It needed a lot of work to get back to show standard and along with personal family life and losing interest, plus a huge garage rent bill he had to sell it. Ive never seen it since and i have no idea where it is now. This car was practically my child hood and if anyone had any information about its wheare abouts now id love to know.

The car was done in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it may still be close. It was a wreck when my dad started it but after years and years of work he ended up with an amazing car.
I believe the front setup and rear axle was wolsley. It had a Ford Corsair V4 with straight through side pipes. Ford mexico wheel arches, a renault 5 Bumper and a spoiler off a truck. It was painted miami blue with a silver roof.

Some pics
















Last i heard the guy he sold it to painted a bit of the front purple to see what it would look like...... and fitted a standard exhaust back on.....

Thanks to Paul for a quality chop!

[moggyman]

Just found this, V8 powered and hard as nails

And this

[RUN BMC]

Nice! I "WILL" have a V8 minor one day although I have a yearning for a lowlight just like the old mans first car.

Here's some more from the vaults.



I'm surprised Nick Mann's turbocharged beastie hasn't had a look in yet.



The Beardmore's Lowlight cabby in progress.



Salt flats racer.



Rotary powered pickup.



Coupe'd.



And I'd love some more info on this track terror.

Thats the kind of thing i was thinking of doing, just a shame that travellers are so expensive something like that with a nice beasty s2000 vtec engine or to be different a turb derv motor out of a bimmer or something

Thanks for all the win in this thread aswell and sorry if i harmed anyone
