Anyone on here go to a bloke who runs a business called MorrisMinor Australia in Alex Avenue Moorabbin? I went and took a look at his workshop on Thursday and he's got about 7 minis there on shelves... a pile of panels and parts.

He's got a leyland van that looks pretty shmick and a roundnose ute both of which he said will be for sale soon so he can concentrate on other projects. The ute has a metro engine in it too.

That might be the bloke I went to years ago when I lived in Moorabbin when I needed a few bits and pieces for the wifeys Moggy Minor - hmmm...previous life i think. Anyway, sort of place where you could take your car - a heap of junk - and it comes out the other end like a brand new one. Had a few bits and pieces of Minis laying around back then too - that was back in the late 70's early 80's.

Hooroo

Yeah, i only just heard about the place and thought I'd go take a looksee. Thorpe seemed like a good bloke... we had a good chat about stuff and he seemed like he knew what he was talking about.
