61 Morris Minor Street Rod

This thing is sick. Love all the custom metal work. I enjoy your cb as well. I rebuilt a barn fresh cb750 last spring and toyed around on it all summer. So much fun.

Yes I talked to KRC, and it sounds like air or... I have reversed the lines on the box. Unfortunetaly I will not be able to visit it for probably 2 weeks since I have other projects I got to wrap up, like the Mini. Hopefully that will fix that, then I got to figure out why it's got the up and down idle, and running rich as hell. But I am glad that it is running....

front on that clubman.. is that stock? cuz it very much resembles to this (to me)

Yes overall the clubman is stock. I made the wide flares, changed the wheels, lowered it, etc, but as far as the body is concerned it is stock. I only polished the grill instead of being stock black.

Subscribed. I'm building a Morris Minor Panel w/ Honda S2000 running gear. Lots to learn, great thread!

So I finally got some time in again. Decided to do a full tune, and get rid of my old tank setup. Before I was running a stock carb tank with a return line in the fill neck. Had to use a L.P pump to feed a fuel accumulator then into a H.P pump. Never really liked that setup so I got a EFI baffled tank from Tanks Inc. And to my luck it was basically the same size as what I had so it will fit with minimal modification. It is a 16 gallon tank, uses a 190lph Walbro intank pump. Fill neck is a billet deal that will be ontop of tank. So I will shave the stock filler, and you will have to pop the trunk now. So it will be a cleaner look I think, and hopefully work better. Here is as far as I got last week. Still have to weld brackets to hold tank up for a bottom mount, make false floor on top, extend existing fuel lines up to new pump. I already modified the pump and fuel sender.











That's it for now, hoping to get the rest done end of week and fire it up again and see what I got.

Cool! I might have missed it but are you running the GM computer?

Kinda, it is the obd 1 1/2 pcm, however I had it tuned to disable the PATS security feature, and set a max speed of 200mph due to the gearing and overall tire size I didn't want it to shut down at 80mph or so.

Thanks, got my hands full right now. Got 6 Minis in the driveway, trying to push them out in a week. May spend a few hours today welding on the Morris. Waiting on parts for 3 of the Minis, frustrating to say the least.

Eh finally time to tackle those rear fenders... and the rest of the car... okay, remember these fenders have been widened 3.5" to accommodate some meats, and the rear was narrowed 9 inches.






This is the color probably gonna go with 99% for the body color HOK candy apple red with gold flake. Then black for the fenders/roof.








Left side is done, on the right side you can see how it is pointy on the rear, so this is gonna get pie cut and re-shaped to be flat with the back like the left side.


This part I am most happy with. Took me months to decide how to blend the front in. It was boxy here, I was gonna curve into the sides, but decide to chop out the square/boxy part and shape a rounded front in.

Loving the color choice.

Very nice work.
I love the minis too.

This is fantastic. There is a shop an hour from me that has a '58 that's been sitting for ages and i keep trying to fight myself if I should acquire this or another Bug.

Are parts easy to source for these?

Great build!
