Hi ladies and gets I have been floating around the forum for a bit now and thought I would start a build thread for my 54 morrie.
It’s parked up until I finish my other project so I don’t plan on this being a quick build, but the plans are as follows.

-original paint colure (cream)
-4 link sunny rear
-turbo g13b engine (from a swift gti)
-coil over front end
-custom front hubs (got over the idea of changing axles)

the morrie last year



and the current project a datsun 1600 with fresh paint and currently being assembled Very Happy



and as it was when i got it Embarassed not my cup of tea but Each to their own Eye Rolls and althow it lookss in good nick it was full of Cancer Mad

Hi Old Tin,

I really like your 2 door Morris, looking forward to your updates as you get around to restoring her. Do you have any interior shots, would love to see them.

Best Regards
Nancy

Hello Tin

That sure is a nice collection of cars. Great work on the Datto.

Do you have your donor Suzuki yet? I like the idea of a small but hi-tech motor for a Morry. I'll be interested to see how you sort out the gearbox.

I hope your projects go smoothly.

Cheers
Don

thanks DON58VAN

is a Rapidly growing collection and i have my old mans car’s at the moment which is making things hard. Mad
i dont have the suzuki yet but as soon as im more financial i will start looking.
not to shore about what gearbox to use but i know the mazda 929 and suzuki sierra ones bolt up. im thinking a toyota w50 with an adapter plate but it's hard to say without the parts infront of me.
