Morris Minor Owners Club

Well another 3 years passed by...life ey... I've not given up on this project and quickly building a collection of parts. Its trapped in my garage awaiting progress. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I now realise I went about this project all the wrong way...now struggling to get it all back together....

Watching with interest, I have a 4 door in a similar state of rot. Although I made the mistake of cutting too much out in one go and struggling to piece it all back together...

Good luck

Ah ok thanks,trying to get used to the terminology. so I think the lower panels just want moving outwards about 10ish mm,so in my Pic A spot welds to C not B

Thank You. Its a shame the image hosting sites messed up a lot of good threads on many a web forum. I will have the old images so will see if theres a way to edit my old posts. Will start again posting directly to here. Thanks You can't edit the old posts. If you contact Mike the Admin, he might be...

So I cleared a bit of space around the old morris and found the repair panel. Just trying to remember how it all fits together! I think the outer sill (B) bit spot welded to the boxing plate (A), then the outer floor repairs (C) spot welded & seam welded to the new floor and outer sill maybe. It...

Thanks Brian, slow and steady for sure, if I can squeeze in a few hours a week im happy with that..

Also continued removing the rear part of the inner wing: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170428_234455.jpg Spot welds drilled out, there should be more spot welds at the bottom, but big super quality repair plate over the top: http://i1074.photobucket.com/a...

Managed to get a few hours in tonight, back to this bit of floor, it should fold round forming a lip for the inner arch to spot weld to. So I cut it out and will make a repair piece later: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170506_193710_3.jpg spot welds remov...

Will do an update soon, my camera isnt working at the moment. Started making the repair bits for bottom of chassis rail/lip, should be welded in ovee wkend. Ive heard of the epoxy primer ive got a T2 bay aswell awaiting repair, all the vdub guys live epoxy primer (unfortunatly its to tall to fit in ...

Great work, I hope I can get a finish like that on my first spray job!

Managed to get a bit in this evening. This is the rotten floor under the rear seat base: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170426_195857.jpg Cut out: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170428_193723.jpg This lip at the ...

Thats what im hoping, and yes would love to get it blasted when the shell is solid, cost snd funds depending closer to the time...

That may be so Pete, but this one is my one ha ha, it will be a challenge and a learning curve,which I like, but like you say it cant get any worse than it already is. Hopefully get another few hours in over the weekend

The back is just as bad, prob leave this till ive put some metal back in, plus ive not really got space to work here.... :-? http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170423_185855.jpg There should be a lip here to attach the verytop of the arch... http://i1074.photo...

Where Ithink factory spot welded (the chassis rail) to rear underseat floor pan http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w409/Anthony_Mullinex/Morris%20Minor/20170421_222839.jpg Anyway to gain better access to, and repair/protect this area, decided to strip the rear arch back a bit... Scraped off old und...

Right then, I was hoping to get the boxing plate, floor & sills sorted on the drivers side (to put some strength back in the stucture), but feel now i goto go further back, as once ive put the boxing plate on, it will restrict my access to the bits in these pics... Top right shiny metal to plug ...
