Morris Minor Owners Club

I remember seeing it a few years ago but couldn't remember where it was. Shame as the doors look better than mine!

Evening all, again not wholey a scrapyard, but driving around recently I came across a trafalger blue minor, emblazoned with Dominoes pizza stickers parked outside the takeaway chain in St Austell.

Has anyone noticed this before? Plus has anyone approached the owner as it seems a great waste

OYN522F is mine!

Shame the original poster hasn't been online since 2012! I know where it's been for a few years too

This morning I went out to check how the doors sit in the frame. Both obviously nearly fall off when you open them. The drivers side isn't too bad, a bit tight on the quarter but nothing untoward. 20201019_122256.jpg The passenger side however is touching both the wing and the quarter? 20201019_1222...

It's Sennen I think, I've been past a few times and always thought about stopping by. You can hardly see it from the road now

I am hugely reluctant to put it on a rollover jig without doing atleast something first.

I know bracing it will give it a real good chunk of support, but i'd like the get the bottom of the door gaps 'properly' together.

Thing is at the minute I can't even jack it up!

Rudimentary box section roll cage then!

I'll get a few metres of box in and go crazy then.

I want this to work, and I want it to be right, or there's no point.

I would suggest that you get the body cross braced, mounted it on a rotisserie and then start on the bodywork. Everything is so much easier when mounted on the rotisserie. Those side & sill panels are not so easy to do with the car wheels down. Been there done that and I know which way I would ...

Looking at going forward, I think the best way to get it some what stable is to first brace it. Then I think it will be best to get the sills and hinge panels done while it's on the floor. The floors can be done wheels down, but the chassis rails and crossmember I suspect to be infinitely easier wit...

I would suggest that the two threads currently running on this story are combined - having the two threads staggers and breaks the story line. Phil Yep, good thinking Phil. Thanks for that Dermot, I'll take a look later on. Conversation continues here at "Pig the 1967 2 door" https://www....

Fantastic pictures there Richard, thank you!

The first bracing will be diagonals across both doors, then across between both doors, then between inner wings, and inner wings to battery tray.

Oh really? Yeah I'll have a good look around, thanks Phil.

My next step was to just tip her over onto some tyres/mattress or something

Yeah I did think this after getting underneath today. A bumper-mount mounted spit wont work either so i'm a little stuck as to where to go,

Besides just tipping it over onto a mattress

Thanks Phil. I'll do the 'good' side first, then use that as reference for the other side.

The bumper support doesn't seem solid at all, would this mean I can't use a rollover jig?



Some more pictures of the underside

Afternoon all. So finally had the project brought home after weeks of moving house. 20201015_121745.jpg 20201015_121804.jpg It's a 1967 2 door, that's been layed up since 2001. When I bought it, I didn't have much time to look underneath in great detail, so just thought it would be the usual rust sp...

Thanks Kevin I really appreciate it. I intended to purchase a rollover frame, either the hub mounted curved roller type, or failing that the A-frame-bolt to bumper mount jobbo. I've had enough scalp burns from welding under cars to warrant buying one. The doors currently sit low due to the hinge pan...

Evening all, this is my first post after having my project delivered this morning! 20201015_121745.jpg On initial inspection, straight off the bat I know it needs: -Front and rear floors -sills both sides -hinge panels both sides -o/s/f floor to inner arch -both front chassis rails -cross member -n/...
