Hi everybody,

Im a new member and just purchased a 1954 split screen morris 2 door on ebay.
It came with boxes of parts and 2 fibreglass front wings.
Got it cheap on ebay as a project while on furlough
Looks a bit daunting tho as the floor and sills are totally corroded...when i take wings of im sure ill find more :o :o

All the best for now.

Welcome, and all the very best for your new project. I’m sure it’ll bring you much enjoyment and satisfaction. Perhaps peppered with a little frustration now and then :wink:

I’m a new member too. I collect what will be my ‘61 two door saloon on Saturday.

What part of the country are you in?

Welcome.
Post some photographs of your new purchase so we can all enjoy it.

I have a couple of videos on you tube showing the major rust spots to give you some idea of may be lurking in the shell, but don't let that put you off, Minors are fairly straightforward to work on and are great fun to drive.

Look forward to seeing your work progressing. I’m only about an hour from you so hopefully see you at some club events and runs in due course.
