Any updates on the awesome little Sunbeam?

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Hi Frizzel,
Firstly congratulations on finishing your build, a work of art and looks really cool. They are a great little body style that really look great with a nice set of wheels let alone the engineering mods you have performed. Love it. I have only just re-discovered your build. For some reason I stopped getting emails when posts were made. I used to own one of these cars back in the 1970's and posted up a bad pic back on page 47 I think. Always wanted another and have just bought one. Don't have it yet as only just made the deal. Cheers Mal |

Awesome work Frizz!!! I haven't checked in on your build in a while. Always one of my favorites! :metal:

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
That's not a car that I would have ever thought of as being "cool" until I followed along on your build. Now I love it. You have done some beautiful work on that car.

Hey Guys!
Thanks for the continued support and positive feedback everyone. And please accept my apologies for essentially bowing out of the community here for the past few years. Many big changes are underway within the Frizzle Fry circles. In fact, (you heard it here first) we are moving out of the country! And so I have, as you may have seen, began the difficult process of releasing the coveted collection into the wild. This car is targeted for Barrett Jackson Scottsdale March 2021. I wish I could take them all with me, but alas, on to new adventures... I've subscribed so I can post on the classifieds here. Here's the status of the fleet thus far:
I haven't been active here for a while so please let me know if anything in this post is misaligned with forum guidelines. I'll be posting a proper ad in the classifieds shortly. Once we are settled in our new home I look forward to building more absurd creations that no one in their right mind would consider investing in and only a mother could love (until I get ahold of it :devil: ) |
Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
All the best to you and your family Mike, for your upcoming shift and new life settling into another country wherever that may be.
Thanks so much for the thread you created here, so many have enjoyed the Sunbeam build. I for one appreciate the time you spent tabulating every step and the enjoyment in following the process. I have learned so much just watching and reading what you do. You have such a talent with metal. If you do happen to start another project can you call back and post a link here to whatever site you publish on. All the best Graeme Auckland New Zealand. |

Looking forward to see what you come up with nex. Best to you and the family on your new adventure.

Did the car sell at Barrett Jackson?

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Must not have made it, the only thing that comes up for that auction is a 66 Convertible.

Just started reading, but I do know of one 3.6 swap. Here is a GM 3.6 swap and turbo build.

June IG post by FF showing what looks like the Minx interior. Moved it overseas?
Sure is a cool car! |
Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Hi everyone! I had been locked out of my account for a bit there and the reset password wasn't sending me the new password..:rolleyes:
But we got in today! In response to all the kind words and support since my last post: Thank you! I do have some updates to share. Yes, as someone mentioned, the interior is done. Big shout out to ClassicCars503 for the top notch work. The headliner, carpet, door panels, trunk mat and side panels all turned out perfect! The car is still in Portland and I'm in town with it now. Sadly, I cannot take this one with me to Morocco so it will be listed on BAT VERY soon. I'll post the link when it's live. New pics to follow! |

...also had it fully wrapped with xpel ultimate by RoadRunner Protective Films in Portland. Unbelievable job done by Dave! Top Top Top work.
Here are a couple vids he posted of the job: >>>>>Video 1 >>>>>Video 2 . |
Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
That car is so nice. If you didn't follow the build you would never know what a jewel it is. Dave appreciated the quality and wrapped it with great care. Nice.

Very nice car, and quite a move. From OR to Morocco, wow!

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
New appreciation for wraps, after watching the videos. Earns his pay!

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Really nice. I like it a lot.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Turned out beautifully

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks guys for all the support and encouragement over the past 13 years!
I’m genuinely heartbroken to have to let it go, but also super excited for someone to get to experience this absolutely unique driving experience. Now live on bringatrailer -> http://https://bringatrailer.com/lis...-sunbeam-minx/ |

$52k the new oener got a great deal. i hope he is aware of this thread and keeps us updated

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I don't know how FF can sell this masterpiece? I certainly couldn't but then again I don't REMOTELY have the skills to build something like this in the first place. I suppose he can build another or something else just as nice when he gets back.
It's sweet little car and if it sold for $52,000 it was an absolute steal! |
