1963 Morris Minor Rotary build
I am working on a 1963 Morris Minor for the GRM $2010 challenge. It currently has a 12a in it, that seems to be frozen. I will either be rebuilding or replacing the motor, and probably doing a turbo set up (not sure if I will stick with carborated or not). I am open to suggestions....

Morris made the original Mini. They also made the Minor, it resembles (loosely) a 1946 Ford, but much smaller. The original Minor (from my research) weighed 1600 lbs. Currently my chassis weighs 1000-1100 lbs, I think I will be able to get to about 2000 lbs with driver, wet weight. If I can get 250 whp then I should be having a fun toy... The trick will be getting the power (and handling) for the budget. I know the RX7's handle well, but I want something a little more unique and also I think I can get the minor to be lighter. Lets see.
