Finished and delivered the Traveller this week. This was a 3 + year project. It's as new underneath, as everywhere else.

LOVE all that woodwork (and the ceiling). Of course, I see the 5 speed adapter plate too. :smile:

I need to get working on mine again as well. Needs full suspension rebuild and some new seat belts at least. Now that we're in the new house (though the shop still has to be built) I should be able to at least get some parts ordered. I'll be in touch.

My poor Bugeye is waiting her turn...

Thanks Drew! Now to get some work done on my Morris pickup and Bugeye!

That engine bay is cleaner than most operating rooms, let alone a kitchen where food is prepared. Wow.

Hi Scott,

It's a kit made specifically for the Morris Minor, and available out of the UK. It's one of several conversions available, including disc brakes from Spridgets. I have had several sets of custom brackets made that will fit Nissan vented discs and calipers, which I will use going forward though. There's brackets available to do rear discs as well.

What is involved in the vented front disk conversion from Ford?
