Vehicle description
This is an absolutely amazing Minor. For some reason, at just over 19,000 miles someone removed the engine and transmission. So, how do I know it is 19,000 and not 119,000? The car was in amazing condition. It had been sitting out side, in a small town out in the desert in Southern California. The paint was faded, all the rubber was cracked and weathered, the interior was falling apart. But it was a complete car. It still had all it"s original parts. Except for the engine and trans. All of it"s parts were in perfect condition. The best way to tell if you have a low mileage car is to check the brake system. On a Minor, if it were a high mileage car, the brake pedal shaft and bushing would be worn out, and you would see wear on the top of the pedal. This was still in perfect condition. The whole braking system showed absolutely no wear. The original brake drums are still on the car. I did replace almost every thing else. Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake lines, brake shoes, and the hand brake cables. I am not going to trust 60 year old brakes. I kept the original brake shoes, there wasn"t much difference between the old brake shoes and the new ones. The whole car was completely disassembled, media blasted, to get rid of any hint of rust. then painted. The car didn"t get through the last 60 years completely unscathed. There was some rust in the right rear foot well that had to be removed. New steel welded in, and some perforations at the tip of the left chassis leg that was not repaired. Other than that the body was perfect. It still has all of it"s original steering and suspension. Everything was media blasted, painted, new bushings, and reinstalled, using the original nuts and bolts. The heater, wiper motor, fuel pump, shock absorbers, horns, voltage regulator, fuse block, indicator relay, are all the original 1959 parts. All of the glass is original, even the rear view mirror. Everything on the car that was made of rubber, cloth, or vinyl had to be replaced.
