a LIL fishing village on the coast - Newcastle Upon Tyne

well i got myself a mk1 ! chuffed to bits too, only had 2 owners from new ! its a 1966 "D" 850 morris mini in almond green, it is the ultra basic model, but i dont care !!!!


went today after a scource told me one was going. i went to the lads lockup and there it was. it is completely stripped down. the good bits are that he has restored the passenger side (fron and rear pans front wing, cross member) but the drivers side needs doing, he has prepped up for the welding phase and all the pannels i need are with the car. the doors, boot and bonnet are perfect however the boot floor is shot !!!! and iam not looking forward to that bit. the front and rear subby`s (hydro elastic) were like puff pastry and were no good, but luckily i have a brand new rear one on stock all built up my only bummer is i gave my twin bolt dry front dry subby away to one of the lads on this forum so am stuck now :( (NICE MOVE DICK HEAD)

i will post pics up am when i get some taken. it will eventually be almond green with snow berry white roof (as per my 69 before i lost it) and a nice set of 10x5j minilights everything else left as it should. (was tempted to go t2 but just cant do it to a historic car)

Nice work!

I'd love an old one.. it'll still get turbo'd though.

I have a spare rust-free front subby if you want it - not sure what type it is though.

MMMMmmmmmmm nope a bloke in Blyth who restores Rolls Royce cars, he got it ten years ago, started it and realised that he rapidly prefered to work on the bigger cars....... he has lost the door glass for one of the doors which am a tad peeved at, but hey nee probs not all bad for 200 quid only 2 previous owners !

i have never done a boot floor before, reckon it will be much tidyer and perhaps easier in the long run to replace the panel in a one`er

she will be back to almond green with snowberry white roof... i want to put 10x5 minilights on, but i am torn as the car has everything original i want it to be pure (yet part of me wants it more cooperesk)
