I've just read this thread all the way from the beginning and really enjoyed seeing Sidney come together - well done.

I'm just about to get my minor back (sold it a year ago due to needing welding, just got myself a garage and a mig welder so my very own Morris is coming home!) been very inspired by this post, fantastic to see. I also read it start to finish!

Hi Andy (again!)
I too have read your restoration log and without the respray the final product is almost a carbon copy to my project! Like they have rolled off the same production line :D
The interior upholstery is fantastic a great credit to your Mum (does she take commissions??)
I have working (but not wired in yet) trafficators, rear indicators which are period ones on the rear and horrible ones on the front. Would like to know what ones you have used.
I have made a box of electronics to pick up the flashing pulses of the indicators and drive to relays to operate the trafficators - just a different slant on two flashers.
Brilliant job and makes me want to get on with the few outstanding bits to make 'her in doors' a bit tidier.
Well done!
