Morris Minor Owners Club

Well its time to get the old girl ready to come out of hiding , been a long time . lots of work to be done manly welding .
Brakes was stuck on ( yep they was loosen before parking up ) so taken them all off. ( look in very good order ) . wood not to bad
Oh well wait for a good to then more hand to move it , fit the rollover jig and away we go lol .

Now down .
Today strip the seats out , then fuel tank.

Roll over jog tried , had to make the top bar but for £30 from a auto jumble can't complain .
Will be looking to take the rear end off , already stripped inside , 1275 lump is out and on the bench .
All fun

Good to see you've made a start on it - nice to have a rollover jig. Is that the original front bumper valence? It appears to be longer than usual (comparing it to my 1970 Traveller one which I've been re-painting today, as part of a frontal tidy-up) - possibly a van one? And what 1275 engine do you have - MG Midget or Marina/Ital?

The bumper was just on it as had no where to put it lol . used to be on my saloon before we sold it on . its not straight as has been hit ( only blooming car in the carpark )
The 1275 is from MG midget

Thats the same bumper just fitted right and old colour

Good to hear you have a Midget engine - they do go rather well with them fitted. Are you going for any other upgrades, aside from the 'angel eye' headlamps?

Its got
Mesh grill
Rover metro electric fan and rad .
Bigger carb .
Wella wheels .
Cherry bomb .
Tinited windows .
Rover metro rear seats .
Mx5 ( mk2) seats will be changing to astra .
Mini rear shocks
Going to fit shocks with springs on the front .
Possible disk con but unsure what going to use will be looking at that .
Big ice system to go back in .

Looks quite good

New floors are in

Next to see if can take the rear end off in one go , if not then it'll be taken apart .
Hoping can come off in one go .

Phew! Looks like it was pretty rusty. Nice job on the new floorpans.

Is all the boot area rusty as well, then?

Floors wasn't to bad seen a lot worse lol .

As for the boot normal the rear lip has gone . got the new bit to go in . then will be adding more box sec to the rear in case of someone hitting it .
Unsure if the tow bar will go back on ( used to tow trailers and drag my old caviler caravan when needed to move it )

But yep getting there will be slowing down a bit now as weather is changing and I'm out side going it .....

A good tip once you've got the floors out , make sure you don't leave the grinder undo tool inside the chassis leg
Before welding the new floor in ..
.
Yep I have recovered the said tool ;)

Thats the back end off , a couple bits of wood to replace ( have most in loft already ) . some more bits to be cut and welded up . going to fit some 1 x1 inch angle in and some 1 x1 box in the back end . just for the in case , did it to my saloon and that did take a hard one and was fine .

Sorry for the long wait
Well it's all nearly back together.
Cant work out to put a short clip up of it running .

New wing fitted

On its side having a sleep

Fronts all adjusted . Wanted it low
