Default 1950 Morris Minor Lowlight

Here's my 1950 Morris Minor Lowlight with 1998 Camaro lS1 and 4l60E fitted. It is on a full custom chassis with one off double wishbone front clip and narrowed Ford 9 inch rear with tru trac diff. Interior is strictly 2 seats with a pro leather interior.
Here's the link to the build process (long, but with plenty of pics))

http://mog.myfreeforum.org/about1082.html

I've currently got a few issues, but getting some good info from here, so will hopefully be moving forward.


Where we are at the moment:
























Rack Narrowing:




New mounts for steering arms










steering column UJ's




Seats:







Wheel (momo)













PLUS - some action shots:

Top gear would be the last place I'd choose - I don't even watch it anymore as they seem to get more stupid as they get older. Hammond is particularly irritating.

Nice car. Great attention to detail. I love the bumper mounted turn indicators. I saw the left one flashing in the first video and thought it may be a reflection until I saw the right one confirm that it wasn't.

...and am I crazy or do the headlights have three modes?

Headlights have sidelights, dip (low) and main (high) beam, so yes, 3 modes. Just the same as a modern.
