Morris Minor Owners Club

Wow! That guy does a good job of rolling it over! Haha. I'm a bit scared of taking the engine and box out, purely as I've never done it before and I'm worried I won't be able to put it back properly haha! Right. Onto the next step of getting Morris back! I will keep you updated! Thank you again guys!

Thanks guys. Well, I've managed to secure a garage at the house of a lady I work for (gardening). The garage next door houses a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3 that I get to look after.... So garage, check! Next is securing the money to buy it back....a small loan from a family member I think. Then onto ...

Thank you very much. So many things to think about really!


It's starting to feel unlikely that I can afford it but I'm trying to ignore the voice in the back of my head and I'm just wanting to go for it!

Now that's impressive....

I haven't actually learned, or even tried to weld yet so I'm feeling that's a little beyond my ability to do a safe job.... I like the idea though, are there plans for things like that anywhere or is it a off the top of your head job?

I've been a little quiet on here for the last year, as I was forced to sell my Morris to a friend as it needed a lot of welding and a garage, both of which I didn't have (money for welding). He's now rang me asking if I'd like to buy it back, oh my word I'd love to, I feel like I'm missing a limb! H...

Right. Problem is underway to being solved. g3 compound, followed by an absurd amount of elbow grease does the trick! Then a nice polish over with auto glym super resin polish. Slowly doing 1 panel a day so within the week it should be done! The paint isn't perfect, sprayed quickly in a dusty garage...

No it kind of like buffs off, if I put polish on it and rub it really really really hard it goes, but sometimes it comes back after a while after the polish wears off!

Nah it's definitely not because it rubs off and when it's wet it's perfect!

You can see it there, its hard to take a picture of![frame][/frame]

That's amazing.......


I will give him a ring!!!

Ah melksham might be more use to me as I live in Atworth actually so that is closer to get to than the bristol one, I will give those boys a try.

Once again thanks ever so much for your useful help!!

Cheers!

Hi guys, I've just moved to Bath (Along with my trusty Morris) and I'm looking for a garage to carry out a bit of welding I need doing, and a check on the brakes, you know just a new local garage basically I can trust, someone who can carry out my MOT and such. Thought I'd check here to see if anyon...

Hey guys, thanks very much for all the help.

Happy to say me and the trusty Morris made it to Bath with no breakdowns or trouble at all.

Due to awful weather and a whole lot of diversions it took 4 hours....


Good job I love driving my Morris!!!!


Thanks again!!

Thank you

Yep, sat there with the old feeler gauges and my Haynes manual for a while!


Cheers!

Thanks very much everyone. Top notch breakdown cover sorted, four new tyres (perishing on the old ones), oil and filter change, air filter, new plugs, gearbox and rear axle oil done, brake fluid done, screen wash and radiator topped up, oiled distributor, cleaned points, installed a stereo and a 12v...

This is amazing I knew this was the best place to come!


I haven't bought breakdown cover yet this year, any advice as to who are the best and what type I need?

Amazing guys thank you so much!

I'm not due to leave until march 14th so I've got a little while to service the old boy!

Cheers fellas, feel free to post anymore nuggets of information and I'll update you with the journey results!!

Hi all, Next month I will be driving my Morris from Devon where I live to Bath, where I am moving to within this year. Can you guys give me some help on how to prepare my Morris for this trip, I.e. what to check, fill, replace if needed and what to take along with me for the journey just in case! Th...

I used cellulose yes, I've got some g3, what's the proper procedure for applying it by machine? Like, g3 on body, or mop head and do I need to dampen anything down, should the car be dry etc...


Cheers

I've had this problem for a while, sprayed june last year, just hoped it would of washed away or something
