Always wondered why you call it Scabby....all clear now.....

Roy does know his way around Minors, he will know exactly what panels to buy and quote you the part nos.

Is that In Ringwood.

Roy's welding is in East Knoyle, just off the A350, about 5 miles south of the A303 junction.

Roy's Welding in Dorset

More details please!

I've got loads of welding that needs doing and plan on spending my next works bonus on getting the car straight.

PM sent.

I've seen worse. Much worse. Just try to keep it from getting worse, believe me it's in pretty good nick......

KFC and BK?

RESPECT!!

Well, the beast goes off to Roy's Welding in Dorset on Sunday. New door pillar cover, flitch and flitch extension. Plus a small wheelarch repair. Should get it back MOT'd & roadworthy in March. As I've got two replacement wings and a small spray gun & compressor, I'm going to spray them myse...

It must do-if you haven't got an MOT, you can't get tax.

OK thanks all, I may try to get it MOT'd or I might just trailer it to Roy's. Some pics here if anyone's interested:- http://www.minor946.fotopic.net/c1426463.html cheers, Neil PS-sorry Kev, I don't think the rust extends to the seats! In fact I might just ask Roy to weld them in before I come up to...

I have about 40 miles to drive to the repairers. The hinge pillar cover will be hidden by the wing when I refit it, the small hole in the inner wheelarch will be visible but is more than 30cm from either a suspension or seat belt anchor. It was last MOT'd by a good garage who I trust, but the rust h...

Morning all, I am in the process of discovering the true extent of bodged repairs done 20 or so years ago by a certain establishment, and have so far got the hinge pillar cover removed.

The dogs, or the chippings?

I like to spread my purchasing power around a bit. I've used ESM, Bull Motif, Minor Centre Birmingham, and Charlie Wares in Bristol, plus ebay. Haven't had a problem with any except for a batch of faulty exhausts from one supplier, who to their credit sent me replacements FOC and eventually gave me ...

I thought the bonnets were slightly different between MM/S2's & 1000's?

I think the earlier style grille looks better than the later versions. I have a Traveller-don't think there were any lowlight Travellers....

So is it possible to fit lowlight front panel/grille & wings to any Minor then? Can you fit a later grille & wings to a lowlight car?

To get things moving, we are happy to start out from Lands End on the 3rd Aug (Sun) and have a leisurely journey via a scenic route arriving in Orkney on the following Friday. We could have a vote on this? cheers neil

OK, next question. I have several fog/spot lamps in my posession, but I'm not sure which are fogs & which are spots. Can anyone positively identify and tell me which is which? :- Lucas LR11 Lucas FT10 Lucas Ranger If you go on ebay you will find all the above described as spot lamps and as fog l...

There's always a ditch if you have a bivvy bag!!

St Just YH was good, the walk to the pub in St Just is about a mile across fields which is entertaining when returning on a dark night with several pints of cornish beer in you.....
