Just finished my latest project. Its a 1961 Morris Minor Traveler (an English car, and like the first car my wife owned) that I bought off ebay three years a go in a wine-fueled haze. It was a complete heap of junk and when it came back from media blasting there basically wasn't anything left. No matter, I fitted the body to the complete running gear from a 2002 Miata. Had to fabricate a new frame from 2" tubing and weld in a million patch panels to get rid of the body rust. So, I now have a 53 year old car that has power steering, A/C, power brakes, cruise control, etc etc. The Mazda was six inches wider than the Morris, hence the all-steel fender flares, and also had a three inch longer wheelbase which necessitated chopping a bit out of the Mazda's subframe and driveshaft. Got her on the road a couple of days ago - loads of fun and surprisingly sorted 'out of the box'. I figure that all this fab and build work has kept me from attacking the GT and doing Whipple, bumper delete etc etc, but now she's finished I'll be looking for my next project.....
