Well it all depends on what i do with my 280zx...if i cant get a body ill go for a small little car 1000-1200-1600 or a Morris Minor 1000 or 1200..i could proberaly adapt the 280zx brakes and part the rest of the car out to fund the project..but finding a decent Morris to do up is getting hard..

For now the idea is still up in the air...If i cant get a 280zx body ill go for it i think.

thanks for the replys

Its a common conversion and quite easy apparently.
If you want to know about Morrys go see Brian Parkes at the Old Muffler Shop in Armadale.
He has a styleside ute with turbo A12 efi in it.
He does lots of morrys. He's been fitting 4AGE's in them recerntly I think.He also does disc front conversions to helps stop them after they get the datto grunt.
I'll be seeing him soon for a gearbox for my spare A14. I can get contact details if your serious.

I'd "throw up" too..just at the thought of it.

Actually, I shouldn't say that. My old man would love to do up a good Morris Minor "low light". It'd have to be CA or SR powered of course. But it might be more appropriate to put a CG13 or something. So the standard peashooter exhaust could be retained.

Go for it, the Morris conversion is straight forward and has been done 100s of times. I would love to do a Traveller(woodie) with some big wheels a good lowering and A15 and 5 speed..

Ive thrown up the idea of getting a Morris Minor 1000 and putting my A12 and 4sp box into it.....

the a seires engines off the morris are vary similarr too the A's of the Datsuns :)

So what do you think ? waste of time ?
