Morris Minor Owners Club

I have just fitted the black rubber seals and they seem good. Still need to lift the door 3-4mm though to get the door totally lined up, driving me crazy! Possibly the hinge pins are worn? Got new pins but am dreading that job....

Thanks, will try that tmrw!

Managed to get the door on but it's very slightly out still. I used my husband as muscle (much to his disgust) and a trolley jack to get it on but am struggling with getting it perfect! I now realise that one of the reasons the previous door didn't close was the overly thick door seal, not a morris ...

Success! Used the 6" nails to hold the plate behind in place, I wouldn't have known that was even there if it wasn't for you guys! New door on and it's a much better fit, a lot of cursing and huffing and puffing it's lined up!
Thanks all, much appreciated, Victoria

Good idea, many thanks!

Looks a lot better in the photos than in real life, only had him 6 months. I used to covet him on my dog walk then I saw him for sale for £500 and couldn't resist, I've spent that again already but he deserves it! The body isn't too bad but the doors are a real mess at the bottom and I managed to ge...

Just found this too, not as helpful as you tho Bob![frame][/frame]

Bob you are a star, thanks for taking the time to explain all to me. I do like to always give things a go myself and in most cases can manage, if not I know a man who can but that's a last resort as I do enjoy this type of thing! I shall ask my neighbour to help out as he has a whole garage full of ...

Thanks bob, yes the doors are very heavy, just bought a complete pair and there is no way I would be able yo hang them alone, plus I'm a girl! I need to swop the door cards over which shouldn't be a problem. When you refer to the A frame, which part is this? The doors I have bought still have the hi...

Thanks so much for that, will have a look

What size spanner to undo door hinge bolts?

Thanks muchly[frame][/frame]

I'm after a nice vintage style steering wheel cover for my moggy, anyone know where to buy one?

Anyone know if there is anyway in Hampshire that I can get front doors from? Thanks all

On closer inspection it looks as though the door just doesn't fit very well as it seems to stick out all round, prob not the original door and the bottom of the interior looks bulky, perhaps due to rust and filler. New door perhaps needed perhaps. The passenger door won't seem to lock either, that d...

Fabulous, thanks all, I shall give it a go as it has been letting in rain water and the carpet and floor is now soaked although due to the nicer weather that seems to be drying out. Only had the car two days and am already in love! Cheers folks

Great, thanks for your time and info. I had a look today and it looks like someone has sprayed over the hinges and bolts, think it will be hard to get them out? The door seems almost bent? Here is a photo of it closed, it's definately dropped and hard to close.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?...

I shall have a good look tomorrow in the light, perhaps he couldn't get them out? Will take some photos. Thanks so much for your help, much appreciated

Hello all, I have just bought a lovely little 1968 minor 1000. The front drivers door needs hanging, the previous owner gave me the heavy duty pins. Is this an easy job, would like to tackle it myself if possible? Thanks in advance.[frame][/frame
