No worries Steve. Sweet project, and nice truck too! I'm going to have to peruse that site some more.

That is a great site. English based, so a lot of the cars are English, but there are also a lot of Japanese cars too. I'm English so the draw is obvious. Thanks for the kudos on my old broad, she's now as reliable as a hammer.
Some of the things those Brits do in single sized mini garages and with a hammer and a cheap harbor freight welder is truly amazing. -Steve

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I was looking through the 400 pages of pics you have (yeah, I had a little time to kill), but I saw the pics of when you moved the shifter on the output housing of the trans. I see where you cut it off, but I did not find any pics of how you re-attached the "shifter receptacle" to the trans.
So, how'd you do it??

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks guys. Feels great to have one side complete. The other side should be smooth sailing when I get back to it in Jan 2010. The marked area on the framerail is where the header is close and may need to be relieved slightly.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I've seen that build and talked to the builder. Nice guy, and a nice car. I'd say that the one that runs wins

![]() ![]() Sunbeam was a brand under the Rootes Group, which also held the Singer, Humber, Matra, Simca, and Hillman marque. Rootes Group was later purchased by Chrysler. Here are some links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootes_Group http://www.team.net/www/rootes/ http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/ I'm just back from two weeks in Ukraine. What an experience! Saw some interesting rides there too. Can't wait to get back on this. Should be out there by Thursday (gotta work first). |

The big Indian Taxi is a Hindustan Ambassador. They're basically an old Morris Oxford III/IVwith IIRC an Isuzu diesel engine under the hood.
