It's Nearly as Old as Woody

Bought myself a wee project

Excellent! Whats your intention with it, keeping it classic or modified?

Hot Rod! Needs a V8

Ohw shit! that's going to be a cool project! Do you need to make a reinforced chassis? Or is it strong enough to withstand the V8 power
Keep us updated! With a lot of nice pictures of course

What kind of brand is it anyway? Like the rims.

By the way, how is your bike-engine-pickup doing? Is is now pushed aside for this lovely project?

Thats highlyjetted with that project.

Sorry I thought Highjetted posted this thread. Now I see I didn't read correctly. Apparently multitasking is not for man

could you give us some more info on it logi?
year/engine/model to be honest i realy like it but have no clue what it is
those wheels i have seen before
arent those 4x110 or 4x114,3 ?

there rostyle wheels off an mg init?

It's a 1957 Morris Minor. Sadly I won't be stuffing a V8 in there, well not just now
Plan is to get it back on the road, been sitting for 15 years, then likely sell it Need money for the SL respray

And, yes, Midget Rostyle Wheels, not Mgb as they don't fit.

Fiat twin cams went in those when I was a kid
4 doors were rare even then .looks a good un that
Separate indicators and side lights?

cool

please post pictures if you have updates

Looking much the same lately, been replacing brake lines, gave it a wee service, and greasing, Windows should be going in next week, it's already better than when I picked it up.

What ferry was that one?

Just spotted this thread. It is 7 years my Junior and bodywork looks pretty well on parr with mine. Dunno about the engine though. Mine isn't too brilliant.  

My Primary School Headmistress had a Splitty Series One when I started school in 1955 but when your 1000 Series came out in 1956 she and her husband bought new ones. I always liked the exhaust note from the Peashooter exhaust pipe. 

Putting a set of Widey's on,  or like you have, RoStyles TOTALLY transforms the look of a Moggy. Great to see it. Thank you.

It's more similar than you think mate, it's shite at posting pictures as well.......

Well at least it hasn't got a brain to go wrong like modern cars.
I know that has been in doubt for many a year in my case. But without one I couldn't have had the Stroke at Easter. MRI Scan did show up a brain, but the problem is how I use it that is in question.

The wife says if I buy any more cars all I'll be doing is stroking......

Fitting in quite well with the fleet, no room for the Hijet though


Should be on the road soon, but will need a bit of welding before then

All those big cars... you have a lot to compensate?

Nowt to do with that, I still have a small cock when I drive the Hijet.......
