Another Kiwi signs in

I'm posting from New Zealand - you know that place somewhere down in the South Pacific where we drive on the wrong side of the road.

I've been following the HAMB for a while now to learn some stuff. My current car stable doesn't quite fit the desired profile, but I'm working on that slowly. Each time I buy another "cl***ic" I aim for an earlier car. Right now I am back to 1964 with a Merc Monterey 'vert. The others are a '69 Lincoln, '68 Morris Woodie and '70 Holden Kingswood (Australian).

My project is a Morris Minor roadster pickup with full custom ch***is, custom IFS and rear 5 link. Engine is an alloy 2l Nissan turbo, mainly for weight distribution and packaging reasons. Right now I'm practicing my amateur metal shaping skills on the firewall, removable trans cover, and inner guards. I do all my own bodywork and welding, although the ch***is was pro-built here in NZ to give the project a kick start.

One pic is an "***-end" parade of my drivers, the others are of the Morris-in-progress.

Welcome Aboard nice stable keep on them

 

welcome aboard, love the Merc what part of NZ are you in ? there are a few Kiwi's on here, sure you will pick up some good knowledge here.

 

Thanks for the welcomes.

I live about 40 miles north of Wellington on the west coast. Nice rural area where we have about 3 acres of land and nearly 2000 sq ft of garage space.

I have seen a few other Kiwi posters here. For a small country there are a surprising number of hotrodders land and american car owners ****tered about.

Yep, another welcome from a fellow kiwi. I'm in Napier.

 

welcome I'm only just up the road from you.I drive the green Mk1 zephyr.

 

Gee Magoo, I did'nt realise you were a Hamber.....

 

I'm a different magoo to the one you are thinking of .I've had this name for about 30 years so didnt think anything of using it here.But I should probably change it to avoid confusion

 

Woops! My bad....

 

Ah yes, the Zephyr man!

I've driven past your office a few times lately, getting the Merc through a WOF.
