Coolasss car !!!

Morris Minor in the December issue! That guy is an ode to patience believe me. Made a wood dash in college woodworking class and waited 21 years for the right car! You're right, I have Auto ADD.

It would have been too easy to hot rod that little car up, but he left it original on the ourside. Nicely done, sir!

Go find the article if you are running out of gas on your project.

Tip of the hat to the owner whose name I don't recall.

I agree.

Agreed - my wife wants one just like it now

I thought it was one of the better car articles I've read myself. And the car was cool.

i was impressed! beautiful car, done well. oh, and the owner/builder has every ase certification? that itself is a major feat. AND his wife is into it. does life get better then that?

Want more? I found these vids (and Brust!) on Club4AG:

Enjoy!

That story was a tough call as to whether it would go in Grassroots or Classic. We're glad you guys liked it.

Why can't it be in both?

No double-dipping.

I sometimes play games when the two mags cover same outings to get a better 'picture' of the entire event. Sometimes sad :( when same pix runs in both mags... I wonder what was left on editing 'floor.'

How many subscribers get both Classic and Grassroots?

sorry for the slight hijack...

I think it's an intersting car, but was disappointed at the "motorsport" part. If memory serves me, there wasn't any mention of the car doing any racing or high performance driving. I thought the car deserved a spot in the Classic side; if there were more cars like that in Classic, I would probably renew my subscription that lapsed a while back. I plan to do similar debauchery with my 122S wagon, the long term goal is to get a RWD ecotec under the hood and some improved suspension bits while keeping as much of the original character as possible. The character of an old wagon is great and a modern powertrain won't take away from that character IMO.

I subscibe to both mags. I appreciate the fact that they resist the temptation to repeat the same story in both publications.

I also agree that this is a cool car and a very well written story.

I only subscribe to Sprockets, I get GRM as a supplement.

There's a guy running around Seattle in a 122 wagon with a supercharged Buick V6 and Jag rear end. Not sure if he was going for the rat rod look, but at the time I saw it, the car was primer gray.

If it's the same car I've seen it's also been converted to a 2 door. It's a little rough around the edges but I bet it's fun to drive.

I get both - well, my wife gets them for me, but you get the picture.

Thanks Zach. As someone with Auto ADD it's refreshing to see someone with interest in a brand and stick with it. Nice car, interesting build and if anyone tells you about a $2000 Challenge, fugetaboutit. It's only a rumor.

Dan

I'd be scared if this guy went with the 2000$ Challenge.

Nice car and good article. Makes me wish that I still had mine
