Morris Minor Custom Documentry 

What a great job! It looks wonderful and I bet it handles, stops and goes just as well : )

Robins minor pickup was awsome in the day still about now, Also has built a minor on an mx5 platform and built it to pass biva. Really hope to see a feature or video of it. Great builds always thought out and built properly.

It must have taken great skill to retain the Morris Minor character with all the other makers car parts , the Fiat engine looks neat . A great film !

This is classy. Well done!

this is very impressive. i enjoyed your video thanks

I found this very interesting. If you did the work yourself, you are a very clever man.

@1100HondaCB His two sons built it for him. We have built many other Minors over the years but this we considered one of the best.

Excellent video. Aye

Great job, but two questions. Wouldn't it have been possible to have the radiator fan thermostatically controlled, and why should the battery be available for 'topping up', as most are permanently sealed these days?

smashing video! 5 stars

@magna59 I did build a Lada Riva (which was originally the Fiat 124) with a 2 litre Fiat engine. That was lots of fun!

@BVM428T I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Yes it would be possible to have a thermostat controlling the fan. We always used a switch because it was simplist way of doing it. I think the battery was an older style that could be topped up. But as you say most are now sealed.

Fuel tank position is a compromise. Two of those are C of G for handling and not being able to put the seat down. However my father also owns a Volvo estate which he uses for moving big things.

My father, in the film, is about 6` 1"

@69waveydavey Yes it is. His silver twin cam (with spare wheel in the boot) was very nice.

Is that will burgess from clayton brook? remember his silver twin cam he made in about 88ish.

This is my type of car. Looks very classy but will go well. It's finished nice to. I like sleeper cars as they look subtle. Check out beardmorebros website. The cars are good and the build pages are second to none. The v8 reliant kitten is my all time fave custom car. I like how they build to a buget but always engineer things correctly. Thats how i have always tried to do things. Finesse costs nothing.

i was just looking at a 56 morris minor 1000(project). The guy bought it and now said he can't spend anymore money/time on it. He is giving it away for free. I think if I hang on he will pay me to take it from him! lol

@BVM428T Me and my mate were mad on Moggies and went to see Will when he was building his, The cold winters put paid to my moggy years, I will get another eventually!! My mate is in Australia now, there's every chance over there too. Nice car, inspiring.

Very nicely done....if you get round to doing a project for a Fiat engine of this type again, the Lada in its original Fiat for of 1966 or 1967 came with this unit, or somthing very similar.

@SmegFridge91 lol, im getting a fiat 126, ha ha ha my head will be poking out the sun roof!

It's not really a Morris Minor is it?.

Wow

I'm trying to get an idea of how big a Morris Minor actually is, so please excuse me for asking - how tall are you? I'm just under 6,4" and I don't want to look odd with a tiny car :)

what a car its a right sleeper you have to check there website too they must have balls the size of small planets lol.

Would of been nice to see your face Rick....! make it more friendly
