Morris Minor Owners Club

Another lunchtime project... Well more of a lunchtime drive then get someone else to do the work... Lol

Been wanting to do small mod like this for ages, feels good to have it now.

If it has been converted to a pick-up, it is likely that it was re-sprayed - possibly even a different colour to the original.... and I am sure you have checked whether the interior is a different shade to the exterior (in case only the exterior was sprayed). But if it is the same shade of green in...

Your totally right. I'm on the hunt now for a good paint shop in South London, fingers crossed!

Hi all I'm hoping someone here could help me. I have a 1971 van that's been converted to a pick up. I want to do some touch ups, but can't work out the colour. I assumed it was Almond Green but the sample is well out. Any suggestions appreciated. Screenshot_20210308-163733.png Screenshot_20210308-16...

Really interesting thread this, can't belive I've never thought about getting tools of ebay. Will have a look now in fact, thaks for the idea.

Another lunchtime project..... Wooden steering wheel.

Hi Haven't been on for a while and meant to thank andymoor94 for the great idea. I did mine slightly differently because I'm cheap lol. I stole my daughters Bluetooth speaker and stuck it in the glove box and connected it to my phone. The battery life is something like 36 hours and I just pair it wh...

That so cool... Really interesting pics!

Hi
I tend to do the same as morrisjohn and have been for years. It doesn't get to cold London typically so every other week or so (or probably a bit longer if I'm beening honest) I take it for good run as well.

Will definitely try the fuel stabiliser in the future though good idea that!

That's just brilliant - made me smile. Afternoon well spent, well done.

Little mini project over lunch break today.

Getting there!

As I'm here does anyone have any advice on changing the steering wheel. I did a search and I can see I need to get a 33mm socket but any more advice or opinions welcome. I'm not wed to it but, my wife got me a wooden gear knob and I was thinking of changing the steering wheel to wood and getting a 1...

Thanks... It really is a labour of love. But smile per gallon these cars do the trick LOL.

Progees in small very small steps..

Witb the grey primer on it looks pretty good.
But when you get up close you can see the welding line. The line is more of a valley so if the weather holds ill fill and sand.

So the flat-bed of the pickup is wider than standard. In order to put back to standard I would have to cut out the super strong bed and anchor points. To save the work and the cost we came up with a plan to widen the tail gate, which has turned out pretty well. Screenshot_20201109-191443.png Screens...

Mangaged to get a tailgate finally. Not in great condition but some filler and hammerite I hope will fix that.

Needed a blow torch to get the bolts out.

Starting to refurb the glove box lids

Link to kit if it works.
