Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm hoping I don't upset anyone in the club or involved in moderating the forum with this post, so I will try to do this very carefully! It's inevitable I will be buying quite a number of repair panels shortly - I don't have taupe's skills in fabbing up panels (wish I did!), and so I have to make a ...

I have yet to even look at the doors charlie, the rest of the car has depressed me enough! :lol: I'm glad you asked the question though as I know the doors shut with a fair degree of difficulty and the shutlines indicate the car is sinking between the axles as the sills and floor are in a bad way an...

I'm hoping that will be the case squire, although I also think there will be a lot of hours spent with a plumbline and measuring tape to get a set of spot measurements to be able to decide which corners to attack, and I have a feeling the state of the floor and sills is the primary cause of all this...

Can I suggest you get in touch with Bilt-Hamber? I believe they will ship their products to the US. The cavity wax they produce is called Dynax, and although I have yet to use it I can certainly vouch for the rest of their range being excellent. Their website is http://www.bilthamber.com. Good bunch...

Lordy does time fly or what? Like a lot of other people a boatload of things have conspired to delay getting back to work on the Traveller, but a few jobs have been finished off such as the inner rear wings largely completed and the rear floor almost ready to be visited by the Mig for the last time....

Sort of hijacking the thread too, I'm fabricating up a frame to spin the traveller at the mo. Should be a lot less back-breaking than digging a pit, and will certainly help improve my welding if I'm not doing it from underneath!

Bit of a festive update. I'm taking it nice and steady and concentrating on specific areas, which started with the bootfloor, nearside wheelarch and now for the offside one. Which is in pretty poor shape. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa302/r75pete/morris%20minor/101.jpg I wasn't going to cut s...

You're doing pretty much the same as me by the sounds of it. I'd recommend you take a look at using the Bilt Hamber Electrox paint for the big areas. Here's an overview for you: http://www.bilthamber.com/electrox.html Also, you might want to take a look at this for those awkward corners that inevita...

As said above, as long as you take precautions then you'll be fine. If anything I would suggest be even more aware of using grinding or cutting discs as these can travel and be a danger across a wider area - unless you want to repeat my little mishap today. Happily grinding away some welding, I stop...

Thanks for the tip, I'll certainly sort that out. I did promise some pics so here goes: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa302/r75pete/morris%20minor/rear_01.jpg The rear, which doesn't look too bad. The wood on first acquaintance appears sound, although it's not quite as good as it may seem - but...

Hello all, I in the first throes of a traveller restoration in conjunction with my younger brother. The car is actually owned by my father, but with us being relatively spritely youths to his verifable pensioner status it's obviously a lot easier for use to be crawling all over it. Anyhows, after po...
