Morris Minor Owners Club

Don't forget it is on tonight!

I like the programme, but I take it as entertainment, a lot of the time I think I think they have cut corners, or that is cheap as they heve not added in labour costs, I know someone who brought one of the cars featured and yes, bits have fell off since he has owned it. I just watch, take it at face...

Oh my god..thought mine was bad....I have a small hole on the spring hanger.

Emptied out today, floor pan not as bad as I thought it would be.[frame][/frame]

Ok, the front bumper....that is currently inside the car has overriders and there is a heater, so I guess it is a deluxe model...
Don't know why I am thinking of such questions at this early stage....but I know there is going to be more.

You may have seen the pics of my long term project, first question that springs to mind is, are the seats leather or vinyl?

It has arrived, posted pics in the restoration projects....

This is how it was pulled from the garage.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1362933396_18550 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1362933420_18550 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1362933443_18550 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1362933466_...

I am really keen to see it myself.....and I have brought it!

OK this is a guess but I suspect this is a transistor acting as a switch. The transistor is bypassed until you press the button on starting when the points turn the transistor on / off and the transistor drives the coil. This is exactly like many budget "electronic" ignition units. Clever...

All things being well....should pick it up on Sunday....still not seen it yet, yep, I have brought it "unseen", all I know is it is 1953 split screen convertible....what the hell have I let myself in for, will take a camera with me!

You did ask.

Ahhhh....that makes it as clear as mud!

But it comes with a new pair, engine is out....but it comes with three. I could not even see inside to see wha...

Well I am soon to be an owner of a 55 (I think) split screen convertible, have found it sitting in a garage......half stripped, been there since 1974.
