Hi, guys...

 

we finally broth the little home and it's great! the sound has like a rally car from 60is :).

It will not be the same color as it is, we are thinking about graphite grey and chrome details, but if you guys have any ideas please don't hesitate :)

 

it has a original 1977 morris mini 1000cc 36hp engine, the drums are on all wheels, the chassis was fixed not long ago so it's in good condition, well acept the engine needs some attention. 

 

but the 3th time we started the car the carburetor broke down :/ and we had to get it fixed, it will be working sometime next week:

 

 

 

as I sad the engine needs some repairs.

 

 

the interior is not a Rolls Royce style but it's ok for a old timer.

 

 

and here are just some photos:

 

 

 

 

Manny thanks, Jure

Are you sure it is a 1000cc engine? It looks like a 1275 cylinder head on it.

1000cc, look at the thermostat housing.
Goodluck with your project:)

Very nice car, looks very solid... I advise a conversion to electronic ignition, it makes the car more reliable, they are easy to fit

I can only presume you mean the angle of the thermostat housing? I'd wager my Sunday roast on that being a 1275 head: and my Sunday afters that it's probably sitting on an early A series 1275 block from an Austin/Morris 1300.

It does look like a 1275 block

Nice looking little mini! I know you have big plans but I would personally tidy that up a little bit and learn to drive in it, then a few years down the line when you have a bit more experience build dream car. But I also think that should be tidied up as it is as just as it looks very sweet as it is! some slightly wider wheels and some nice cobra classic seats and it will be a very cool first car!
