1979 Morris Mini Project & Parts
Background check
Description
I have my classic Mini project for sale. The original plan was to put a VTec in it, but the increase of red tape to get certification has shattered those dreams.
Currently is in a “As Is Where Is” situation. You will need to bring a trailer to take her away.
Registration is on hold, ready to be reinstated once you complete the rebuild!
Has the majority of everything you need to put this beast back on the road. What a great project to work on with your teenage (or younger) offspring and get them learning about car parts!
Very tidy all around. Minimal rust spots, excellent condition.
Comes with almost everything to put it back together:
Included Items not pictured
- 3x A series engines, in various state of repair. One is a 1275 and the other two are 998 I believe. They have been out of the car for a while, and will probably need a rebuild or at least a clean up.
- Bonnet, boot lid, 1x door.
- Windscreen, rear window
- 4x Minilite alloys plus tires
- Front and rear bumpers, plus grill
- Front & Rear subframes
- Tinted back windows
- Custom flame door card
It currently has the inner wings removed, but I have new replacement panels which will just need a bit of fettling to fit in if you're handy with a welder, or know a good panel beater.
Please note: The front seats and steering wheel pictured are NOT included. The centre instrument cluster is unavailable at the moment.
Things missing from the project:
- Wiring
- Centre instrument cluster binnacle surround (DOES come with speedo and gauges)
- Door Card (Driver side)
- Rear Tail Light lens
- 1x Indicator lens
- Air Filter
- Front Seat
- 1x Wing Mirror damaged
- Centre Switches
No time wasters. Serious interest and offers only.
Really wanting $4K for this, but will negotiate around the listed price.
Viewable in Alicetown, Petone. Anytime between 8am and 4pm Monday - Friday.
