Morris Minor Fast-ish Road Build Part 1: Alfa GTV Seat Install

Ten years ago I launched my serial Morris Minor buying habit. Now, on my third car, I'm embarking on an upgrade project to make the car faster and sportier, and show those ruffians in their Corsas what for.

just came over from IDAC, after I saw you chatting with Steph. Great job you are doing here. I'm watching with much interest, as your car is quite similar to my '58 2 door, and you appear to be after the same sort of build. Keep up the good work!

I thought the seat mounts look pretty good.. Some people will go on about they don't look wright.. But they are not the one that has the car.. You will do a fantastic job of your minor.. Good luck with all that you do to your little car..

I didn't know you crashed it! Looking forward to seeing more x

As I've told myself since then, every racing driver has crashed a car at least once.

Those brackets look great! Awesome job 👍
I'm trying to figure out if I fix the old seats I have, but recently got some electric leather seats donated to the cause, they are a little wide, weigh a ton etc. Trying to figure out if I should buy a mig setup and make my own brackets vs go to a fabricator.

[@Scrubworks]

Depends on whether or not you plan to expand your abilities and do more metal-working/welding in the future. If you just want to put in a pair of seats, then getting a fabricator to make the brackets will be much more cost and time efficient. Otherwise, if you want to take up welding, do invest. It's a very valuable skill.

Have bought a little mig 👍
Will see how we go

[@endamcg1]

Brackets done! Just wanted to ask whether you're planning to put in 3 point belts or original style lap belts? About to install my brackets but want to leave space for the seatbelt reel.

I liked that old video you did, I subscribed after it but you went quiet till now. Those series 2 moggies are rare and you should of restored that😎

[@Scrubworks]

It was an utter dog, trust me. Also it was a 4-door which means you get tiny front doors, and I could barely get into the thing. Also, to be honest I bought it partly because it was MOT exempt, but now that exemption has been extended to all Moggies :). You're right though, it was cool. Felt very Sin City driving it at night.

@@Scrubworks wonder if that was the one on ebay a few years ago from Sheffield, I wanted it but it's mot history was bad 😅

[@Scrubworks]

@@EngineVids I sold it at the end of 2018, but I doubt it was in Sheffield, I sold it to a car trader in Bedfordshire. Black is a very common colour for those early cars.

[@EngineVids]

@@Scrubworks think that was around the time😅. Who knows ehh?🤔
