I just want to turbocharge my Morris Minor's "original" BMC 'A' series engine and run in Modified Series Production cars up to 2000cc

But I must admit - if I had the readies i would love to convert it to a Wacky Racer

Wide bodied, spaceframe GTM Coupe.
Originally built with 2 Litre Lancia Twin-cam running gear.
Now getting a GSXR1100 motor.
(Won't be running those stupid 18" wheels though!)

Graeme - might I suggest that the front ride height on the blue and white beastie at the top left of the 2nd picture is a little high?
