This will be a fun project. this is Herman's (Pologround) 1963
Morris mini 850. we will be adding a lot of cool features as well as
restoring the body work to its former glory. As you can see from the
photos that this is a solid car with typical mini rust. It is a worst
then it looks. we found quite a bit of rust in the a pillars and scuttle
areas and it needs sills on both sides.
We will be installing a 1275 metro engine, a right hand tank and upgrading the brakes to cooper S spec. and replacing the rear subframe.
keep your eyes on this page for frequent updates . I will shortly be adding a few photos of the trip to collect the mini in VA.
