1969 Morris Minor 1000 Saloon 4 door


"Wolfie"
Wolfie as he is affectionately known came to us in the shape pf a almond green minor 4 door saloon,when we picked him up his wings had long gone,god only knows where,he had sat in a garage for about 18 years completely stripped out,we put his doors back on for the move plus his rear springs & axle, bonnet & boot only items not removed were his front & rear windscreens,he was brought from Billingham to ourselves in York as a stable partner for Ruby our Morris Minor Royal Mail driver trainer & Heartbeat T.V.star,while the van must be kept original Wolfie is a totally different kettle of fish altogether & at this present moment in time we cannot reveal to much about our plans for him other than to say you will not have ever seen a Morris minor saloon like Wolfie, his original engine & gear box had been rebuilt but never run so those have been removed & stored as spare for our mail van.

Work has begun complete shell has been professionally welded at Tom Roy's so we have a good solid base to start from,front steering & suspension has been rebuilt but we plan some after market shocks to assist what's there already & the same at the rear too,then we started the search for some front & rear wings as Wolfie was complaining about the wing & rain whistling around his ball joints,we managed to pick up 4 wings from a famous custom minor from the 80's in bright yellow & with the rears extended to fit wider wheels,colour did not matter as the entire car colour will be changed at the end of the build,then we went in search of an engine & gear box to transform Wolfie from a sheep in sheeps clothing to a Wolfie in sheeps clothing which will leave the Corsa & Saxo guys with their jaws around their knee's as they try to beat us away from the lights just to see a speck disappear into the distance oh err at the proper speed limit of course, officer lol

Seats have all been changed in the rear we have black leather which came out of a Hyundai coupe & fits perfectly, in the front 2 sparco rally seats which will be fitted with harnesses.

So we are early in the build process but anyone with engineering or mechanical knowledge who is local in York who fancies helping out will be made very welcome with lots of coffee & biccies, once this build is finished we guarantee you will not have seen a Minor looking like this one ever.

Anyone interested in helping out can contact myself through this site or message me at my email address of rabthepostie69@hotmail.com or on 01904 787411

Thanks for taking the time to read Wolfie's journal

Hi Rob, at present Wolfie just looks like any other minor under
restoration as we want to have our engine & gearbox in place before we
do the body mod's as we need to see what the ride height is like but
he will certainly be unique thats for sure,the only other way of
finding out our build plans is to come & assist to get the insider
information,great to hear from you with your comments, thanks Rob

flash!!!
