I'm a long time owner of a 61 Morris Minor pickup that I bought from the first owner, my Uncle Bob. So, still in the family. It's been a project from the beginning, sourcing a 1275 Midget motor, then a frame off redo, nuts and bolts job. Rust repair, lots of powder coating, blasting and powder primer, then paint. Bit of a resto-mod by lowering, front discs, sway bars, poly bushings, gauges, etc. Completed that and, not one to linger, had the motor rebuilt, HC pistons, cam, 1.5 rollers, etc.; added a Toyota T-50 five speed box and Nissan 240SX discs all around. New leather seats. That's almost complete.
 
Gene - welcome to BCF. I'm pretty proud of my 1957 MM Traveler, which has nothing new or replaced, believe it or not.
