Morris Minor Owners Club

Steady progress is what it's all about.

Looking great.

Thanks Brian, slow and steady for sure, if I can squeeze in a few hours a week im happy with that..

Blimey, where did 3 an alf years dissapear! Its still sat in the garage awaiting resurection. Can anybody see my pics still? Hoping to make s restart this project over the coming winter...

Hello Mulli
Your pics are still here, but they are watermarked with Photobucket.
Which is better than for people who used other image sharing sites which stopped free hosting completely.

I recommend uploading any further images direct to here, rather than placing your trust 3rd party sites.

A ward of caution though..
You have to be aware though that this site is creaking at the seams with old age and sometimes it has a breakdown and refuses to accept images for a while, before suddenly getting better.

See here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=72183&hilit=image+uploads

But at least it always comes back and the uploaded images are always recoverable, unlike with the 3rd party hosting.

Thank You. Its a shame the image hosting sites messed up a lot of good threads on many a web forum. I will have the old images so will see if theres a way to edit my old posts. Will start again posting directly to here. Thanks

So I cleared a bit of space around the old morris and found the repair panel. Just trying to remember how it all fits together!

I think the outer sill (B) bit spot welded to the boxing plate (A), then the outer floor repairs (C) spot welded & seam welded to the new floor and outer sill maybe. Its a big jigsaw!

The rear floor edge repair (D) needs to be cut down first and seam welded to new floor and spit welded to the outer sill.

Its confusing! Before anything need to clean all panels up get some proper primer on and re-work all edges.

I will prob tack in first 1) Boxing panel 2) Inner front wing to boxing panel repair 3) Half floor minus cross member spots 4) Rear wing/spring hangers - if it all fits, with doors, wings etc then fully weld & roll it over for tricky underfloor parts

Hope my pics upload ok...

You can't edit the old posts. If you contact Mike the Admin, he might be able to help you.

Thanks again, I'll dig my old laptop out and make sure I still have the pics then ask Mike - as you can see theres been no progress from the old in 3 years so not a disaster with pics. I'd be gutted if it was a full resto thread!

I've just done this repair. The boxing plate doesn't overlap the outer sill it sits on the inner under sill sections and the outer sill is welded to them





Not very clear but the outer sill is plug welded from underneath



Hope this helps

Ah ok thanks,trying to get used to the terminology. so I think the lower panels just want moving outwards about 10ish mm,so in my Pic A spot welds to C not B

That sounds right. If the assembly is too far in then the kick plate and sill finisher won't line up with the edge of the outer sill. I did measure from the boxing panel to the outer edge of the outer sill a couple of inches in from the A and B posts and it was 3"

I wrote it in top of the floor edge before I chopped all the old stuff out, you can just see it in this picture

Well another 3 years passed by...life ey...

I've not given up on this project and quickly building a collection of parts. Its trapped in my garage awaiting progress. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I now realise I went about this project all the wrong way...now struggling to get it all back together...but things can only get better...hopefully!

Updates soon!
