Re: Steves Morris Traveller 1970
Iv just ordered the sills and a pillar cover panel. I hope the pillar cover you have ordered is better than the ones I ordered from one of the major suppliers of Minor parts ( :D ) some time ago. Mine were totally useless :evil: . They were so far from the correct shape that it was impractical to t...

They used to make two holes in the top of the egg and suck out it's contents most probably not then consuming them m...

Re: Paaro - Morris Minor 1000 1957 4 door restoration

Oh ideal im just getting mine ready for tip over onto old tyres aswell. Shame that gearbox tunnel turned into a problem so quickly. Maybe cut it out abit smaller and remount it differently? Tho im happy to have the access to the chassis legs. Really looking forward to seeing your progress.

Re: Steves Morris Traveller 1970
Well we have some progress! Back panels fitted. Having to really tidy up the o/s due to the welder having a leak. Couple of places needed rewelding but all good. Iv just ordered the sills and a pillar cover panel. Im leaving the o/s boxing panel as it requires no welding. Had to order the bits as it...

Re: MMOC RAC Breakdown cover
Ha the AA have dropped the quote to £155 iv just asked them not to renew for the moment. Unfortunately breakdown cover on your insurance would only cover that car. We have 4 on the road at the moment. Newest car is 1998 so its nice to have breakdown cover. RAC looks the way. Cheers.
