Excellent start of a project, but why not start your own restoration thread as others have done, rather than put it in the thread about the restoration section? More people are likely to see it.

Hi Everyone

My first post on here, after a many late nights over the last 12 weeks we're nearly there! Shame the 2nd hand 5speed box was a duff un, ah well back to it! [frame][/frame]

As myson has just turned 18 the car is now in the garage awaiting an MOT to become his first car,a little work remains afterwards but he is looking forward to being on the road.The car has been off the road for a number of years so it will be great to see it being used again.Pictures to follow.

Hi I tried to make a build thread for my minor but the system wouldn't let me for some reason, can someone help?

Go to the top of "Restoration poroject" and click on "New Topic". Away you go.

starting a 1959 convertible in the states. So far the biggest problem is the language, apparently, I do not speak English but I am learning. as soon as I figure to resize my photo I will send pic's

Building a 1958 MM 1000 2dr. The biggest problem l have had is no wrenches either metric or American fit the bolts. Are those called Whitworth or something? My Morris has a 1980 Chevette drive train. Will post pictures if I can figure out how.

For a 1958 Morris 1000 Whitworth bolt heads / British Standard Fine (BSF) threads on the suspension / body parts and Unified National Fine (UNF) threads on the engine / transmission parts with Across Flats (A/F) heads

i.e. .................5/16" UNF threaded bolt has a 1/2" A/F head.

A 1958 Morris 1000 does not have Metric bolts or threads.

The starter dog and rocker adjustment screws have American Unified National Special (UNS) threads with AF heads/nuts.

Hi everyone, I've been fixing up a 4 door 1959 series 3, it did belong to my father in law but he's now unable to do it,
This is my first ever attempt at restoring a car and wanted to keep the car original but with a modern twist, anyway here's my attempt at a paint job . Darren.

Looking good - I love it

I would like to get her ready for her 60th birthday on 22august this year

When I first got my 1959 1000, reg 643cuo, it didn't look very pretty but she had a good heart and solid floor, the original colour was old English white, then the father in law got it and it was a sort of sage green well he didn't like that, so off he went and got a tin of farmyard oil based white paint, hmmm m, roller and paint brush later, severe orange peel,
6 months later I got the car and began the rubbing down to flat it off, BY HAND, no machines, then I jad a brainwave that it would look amazing as an electric blue pearl,
Well I got the paint ready to use celly basecoat from eBay, then thought it was too dark, so I used about 3/4 of a litre of farmyard white oil based and mixed with 1 litre of blue celly ready to use, well this is the results so far, by the way it is hand painted with a Harris 4" brush,
Does it suit or not?
