Re: Accident Damaged morris minor.

Looks lovely. I like the bizarre colour scheme too. Have to admit, if it was me I'd have got a few mates to push it back onto its feet and prob driven it home. Remarkable how strong they are... especialy a trav. At the risk of offending trav owners I'd have expected it to blow apart like a bit of ol...

Re: Nail it down or lose it!

I am a little worried by shell might go walkies (outside on an industrial estate) but I'm re-assured by the fact theres probably not enough good steel in it to make it attractive. :lol: :lol:

Re: Disc Brakes

If you buy a kit it should be all in the instructions. Practical Classics also have a Morris Minor disc fitting guide (jlh again iirc), sadly for us bodgers it consists of "Go to supplier, buy kit, fit kit" :( If you find a way of fitting some other random discs on off another vehicle - ke...

Re: May be too much?

then I remembered how you can run a clock off a potato, and so I tried a baby pearl potato, which didn't work either.
Well duh..

Now, several of them, connected in serial, might have worked. :D

Re: 3.7. what a DIFF (erence!)

I always wanted one of these but they were doing silly money. Still, cheaper than a 5 speed conversion (but what isnt? :lol: ).
Were they only used in Midgets? What did the Wolseley/Riley cars use?

Re: Pushing one over with engine still in?

I wont be buying it when your finshed
I should think it would be a very good propostion when finished - given that 90% of the car would be new.
Though, to be fair, it will have been built by me - first time I've wielded a welder and what a way to learn! :lol: :lol:
