^ Thats not the actual one.
I've been offered one for free, before I say yes, I need to figure out what to do with it...
they're not exactly rare, and its not a decent model, mint ones can fetch a few grand, but the one i've been offered needs some bodywork doing to it.
Obviously if I had the knowledge and money it'll turn into a Rover V8 hotrod... but I don't, i'll be able to sort bodywork, and thats the extent that I could do.
Should I get it or not...? It would be living in a rented garage about 5 miles away if i got it... has electric etc?

Garage would be £50 a month, so i'm just trying to justify it 
My old corsa has only just gone off my driveway, and i live with my parents and they said they're not having another car sitting there not moving

I don't have enough knowledge to do it tbh, and i don't want to spend much on someone doing the conversion

Id love a morris minor tbh,not everyones cup of tea,but i think their nice..probaly because ive been brought up round classic cars.dont like the woodys but saloons are nice.
But theyre ace,there was a guy whod stuck a morris minor shell on a skyline.
And there was a cossie powered minor round here years ago.

Have it if it won cost you any money to keep. I wouldnt pay 50 a month for it to do nothing. Put it on your drive. Its your mum and dad they should be ok!
