Morris Minor Owners Club

I've just finished a 1964 MG Midget, I used synthetic chassis paint from a uk supplier, its nearly the same colour as the tartan red top coats, dries very quickly, but it will wrinkle any oil based undercoat paint..

I realise this isn't strictly Minor related, but I am going to view an eight this weekend, it needs a new headlining, does anyone have any experience of doing this job, got any photos of the fixings etc, all info gratefully received.

Thanks
Rob

Hi, does anyone have experience of a courier service, I need to get a half engine from Gloucester to Essex, in the next few weeks, Speed shift was mentioned in an earlier post, but the reviews for this company are not good.

I did my own, I bought three lengths, made a co@k up of the first & chucked it in the bin, the next 2 attempts was successful.the most difficult part is getting round the corner, but the Ali is easy to work, but only cut and shape the lower lip.

can you contact me on 01206 231793..
