Just started reading, but I do know of one 3.6 swap. Here is a GM 3.6 swap and turbo build.

June IG post by FF showing what looks like the Minx interior. Moved it overseas?
Sure is a cool car!

Hi everyone! I had been locked out of my account for a bit there and the reset password wasn't sending me the new password..

But we got in today!

In response to all the kind words and support since my last post: Thank you!

I do have some updates to share. Yes, as someone mentioned, the interior is done. Big shout out to ClassicCars503 for the top notch work. The headliner, carpet, door panels, trunk mat and side panels all turned out perfect!

The car is still in Portland and I'm in town with it now. Sadly, I cannot take this one with me to Morocco so it will be listed on BAT VERY soon.

I'll post the link when it's live. New pics to follow!

That car is so nice. If you didn't follow the build you would never know what a jewel it is. Dave appreciated the quality and wrapped it with great care. Nice.

Thank you Russell. Yes, it is quite the subtle gem that continues to reward as you peel back the layers!

**Rickysnickers** · 07-27-2022, 09:55 AM

Very nice car, and quite a move. From OR to Morocco, wow!

NONHOG · 07-27-2022, 07:43 PM

New appreciation for wraps, after watching the videos. Earns his pay!

67C10Step · 07-28-2022, 09:01 AM

Really nice. I like it a lot.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-31-2022, 12:29 PM

Turned out beautifully

Frizzle Fry · 08-06-2022, 04:37 AM

Thanks guys for all the support and encouragement over the past 13 years!

I’m genuinely heartbroken to have to let it go, but also super excited for someone to get to experience this absolutely unique driving experience. Now live on bringatrailer -> http://https://bringatrailer.com/lis...-sunbeam-minx/

Looks like 52K (read it yesterday, hopefully remembered correctly). I hope you are happy with the results. Dunno how you put a price on blood, sweat, and tears.

Marty68 · 08-14-2022, 09:16 PM

$52k the new oener got a great deal. i hope he is aware of this thread and keeps us updated

**Dan in Pasadena** · 08-15-2022, 01:55 PM

I don't know how FF can sell this masterpiece? I certainly couldn't but then again I don't REMOTELY have the skills to build something like this in the first place. I suppose he can build another or something else just as nice when he gets back.

It's sweet little car and if it sold for $52,000 it was an absolute steal!
