CLOCKWORK ORANGE

CHOP TOP UTE

1960 Morris Minor LCV 

(Because what I am doing to this Ute is Ultra Violent)

 

These pages will be continually updated as I do more work on the Ute

Last update: 29 January 2012


26 January 2012 - WOW, Six months since I have done any major work on the Ute (too much time playing with my race car) Rear window is now in permanently, Grill bars painted.

26 June 2011 - Body has been painted for a few weeks and the windscreen is now fitted,

13 March 2011 - 5th wheel tow bar set up, also have a different bonnet to try and get to fit better.

7 March 2011- I have been playing with the tray, a few clearance issues with the inside of the tyre rubbing on the guard, its all just tack welded so should be easy to fix. Bonnet and guards are next to be finished.

 


Latest images of the build

 

I have finally got some work done on the Ute, Grill bars all painted silver edge with Candy orange blades, from strait on it looks silver from other angles you see the Orange.

Grill full mounted. still need to see about where the front blinkers will go.

Got the windscreen fitted, it was one of my biggest fears due to it being cut down.

All went well, took a lot of effort to get the chrome strip in place, buy I'm happy with the out come.

Passenger door fitted also, just needs some adjustment.

3 wipers work well and I have put the sum visors and rear view mirror in.

  Been a long time coming but cabin and doors finally painted, colour is Spark - Al
Rear tray set up with tow ball (5th Wheel) just in case I want to build a race car trailer or good size teardrop camper.
Rear tray set up with smaller rear guards and square sides.

Tray has been levelled up (it was very low at the back)

hope to have it finished soon but have some clearance issues with the inside of the tyre rubbing on the guard.

Doors back on to get the alignment of the bonnet spears and to run the wiring for the doors

Spears are cut down sedan ones
