    Hi Guys ,

    I am proud to present you my latest purchase ! It's Mini Morris ! The car was produced in 1974 to Dutch market. In 1981 was imported to Poland . I suppose to be 4th owner so far. I called this car "PROJECT 177" because it will be completely restored to a racing look like Rauno Aaltonen's car , Monte Carlo winner from 1967 ( the last that won Monte Carlo Rally , starting number 177 ) . As you can see A LOT of work to bring the car into proper shape. Mini is stored in my friend's company at the moment - loads of garages there. I have decided to "freeze" the whole rebuilding/project till late 2008 . I need to focus on my studies now because I am graduating in June/July 2008 .

    Take care
    Tad

    Neat little car. Now you just have to put a hayabusa engine in it and it will be a screamer.
