Morris Minor Owners Club

Yeah the rac are sounding good. Iv only called breakdown out once. When my land rovers wheel bearing went. Thanks for the advice.

Ouch atleast the rest of the shell is ok tho. I bent a marina upright and nothing else a couple of years ago. Nobody could believe i done it.

Ha yeah know the feeling. Order of work on jobs goes out the window at times. Ha i have the weekends either doing motorsport or with the other love of my life. She moved to another flat this weekend which nearly killed me. Think i need the day off. Update. Iv cut off the rusty metal on the back afte...

Hello is the RAC breakdown cover any good? Iv been with the AA for 2 years, iv just received my renewal which is £232. Tho its a joint membership with my partner without home start. Iv got an online quote with the RAC for £111 and £118 with the man outside Asda. I need breakdown cover cause we have ...

Yeah iv used it. Ideal for repairs. Iv done a couple of test pieces on my road car and so far so good. But its still only a rust treatment. Nothing can beat new metal. It seals it well tho.

Hi welcome. Im currently rebuilding a traveller too. Guessing youve got a land rover aswell? Iv got a 200tdi defender that iv put on a galvanised chassis. The Morris seems easier so far. Even tho iv only stripped it and started the wood.

Thanks john. Im doing ok with it. Slow and steady but im enjoying every minute of it. I'm sure youve got plenty to do before your shell arrives lol.

Got the other panels screw into the wood. Iv added another coat of varnish under the panels. Im so happy with the paint results its nowhere near perfect but for first time spraying its great. Iv really over done it today tho. I shouldn't do asmuch but am making the most of the weather before it goes...

Finished the spraying for the wood. Apart from the roof. Panels arnt perfect but much better than i was expecting. Im really pleased with it. Its gonna look lovely and original i reckon. Just gonna put the wood together and work out where i need to weld the metal up to. Im hoping to get all the weld...

You really need to go and look. Pull it out the hedge. Strip it down abit while you look. Then decide if its to much or not. I spent over an hour looking at my project before i bought it. Theres plenty of help online about where to look and things. Keep us updated on what you do.

Some pictures the o/s wing was quite bad but alot better. They still need the final rub down before painting. Im still finishing the rear panels. Iv also been spraying a black dusting coat on and sanding it smooth. I think its gonna look good. Iv been using etch primer on bare metal. Just a quick sp...

I was away last week. But before then, Saturday and today iv been busy filling and sanding the panels. Its so much work doing. They arnt going to be perfect but will be good. It takes forever sanding down the filler. But il be happy with results. I can live with the odd imperfection as the car will ...

Iv been told you fix these boxes, not replace them. Maybe find someone to remove it and fix it for you if you cant. Good luck.

Thanks, shall do the hinges first. Last thing i want to do is make more work for myself.

Hi guys. Il be changing my sills well most of it with new, inner sills are still good. I will be bracing the doors across the pillars aswell. Would you recommend me changing the hinge pins first with oversized ones? The pillars need abit of work at the bottoms but dont flex much. Doors are lined up ...

Thats abit of turn around then, atleast your not giving up on it. Its surprising finding rust that you cant see when its all together. Mine only needed a back panel, repairs on the rear arches and a plate on one sill. But as iv taken it apart iv found loads. Sills floors chassis leg needs a patch, i...

Haha i was after saloon that needed tidying lended up with a traveller project. Im sure il be ok tho.

Nothing worth posting up. Iv been taking the bits off the old wood. Welded up the bottoms of the metal bit that fit the wood. Iv just started rubbing down and filling the alloy panels for the wood today. Slow and steady!

It will be easier if your used to driving on your side of the road. Especially if your used to right hand drives aswell.

Good idea, think some on my land rover are magnetic. Still a good idea but i hope my oil filter also catches alot of the swarf tho this should catch bits before they get sucked up. Obviously the axles and gearboxes dont have filters.
