Here's one I saw in Parramatta, at Allen's Motors (Morris Minor workshops)
Note it has towbars front and rear, for pushing dead Morries around. :lol:

what makes ya say that? i am not trying to make an argument i just want to know why :?:

one day if i ever find a wreck i would consider making a shorty just for the fun of it- i think they would be fairly unsafe the short wheel base would make the car very unstanble and likely to flip over, under any sort of power...

cheers
