Re: New Restoration Projects Section
Excellent start of a project, but why not start your own restoration thread as others have done, rather than put it in the thread about the restoration section? More people are likely to see it.

Re: New Restoration Projects Section
Building a 1958 MM 1000 2dr. The biggest problem l have had is no wrenches either metric or American fit the bolts. Are those called Whitworth or something? My Morris has a 1980 Chevette drive train. Will post pictures if I can figure out how.

Re: New Restoration Projects Section
For a 1958 Morris 1000 Whitworth bolt heads / British Standard Fine (BSF) threads on the suspension / body parts and Unified National Fine (UNF) threads on the engine / transmission parts with Across Flats (A/F) heads
i.e. .................5/16" UNF threaded bolt has a 1/2" A/F head.
A 1958 Morris 1000 does not have Metric bolts or threads.
The starter dog and rocker adjustment screws have American Unified National Special (UNS) threads with AF heads/nuts.

Hi everyone, I've been fixing up a 4 door 1959 series 3, it did belong to my father in law but he's now unable to do it,
This is my first ever attempt at restoring a car and wanted to keep the car original but with a modern twist, anyway here's my attempt at a paint job . Darren.

Re: New Restoration Projects Section
6 months later I got the car and began the rubbing down to flat it off, BY HAND, no machines, then I jad a brainwave that it would look amazing as an electric blue pearl,
Well I got the paint ready to use celly basecoat from eBay, then thought it was too dark, so I used about 3/4 of a litre of farmyard white oil based and mixed with 1 litre of blue celly ready to use, well this is the results so far, by the way it is hand painted with a Harris 4" brush,
Does it suit or not?
