Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your info - I'm going to have to try and do it myself. Just got very dispondant when I started to strip off the underseal on the car and found it to look like a patch work quilt with all the welded patches on it.

Thank you for that information - it has been very helpful. Its possibly something Im considering because as a DIY job I think mine is just too much for me to do.

Hi, Just a quick question - which may be a bit open ended as no two cases are the same but...................... If you were to get a 'professional' to do a a full restoration on a moggie - a 1962 2 door to be precise..........which is mechanically ok, just passed mot but needs a lot of welding, chr...

I just fell off my perch laughing!!!!

Hi All, Well I started on the jobs today - and tackled the leaky fuel tank. More out of 'have too' really as when I wolk up this morning and went out to her, half the fuel tank had leaked all over the driveway. I managed to get her up on some ramps - drain the remaing fuel, strip off all the old und...

Had a real stroke of luck today - I volounteer at a secondary school as an SEN teacher and during a crafty smoke break started talking to one of the I.T teachers about theminor I had just bought. As it stands - the chap has restored 5 old cars before - being a VW, Imp, Herald and 2 Stag's. He has of...

Just got a quote from a garage that deals with morris repairs in the south west - they advise that it would cost me £700 + vat if they do the sills for me.......way to much for me in one hit. if I can get the parts for arounf £160 ish for both sides. which I believe is about right for complete sills...

Thanks again guys for all the positive words of advice. luckily, i have a member of the family who is an excellent welder and if i can find out what needs to be done and get the parts, do the main cleaning and prep work - he will do the welding for me. Here are some pics i have sorted - let me know ...

Guys,

Thanks guys - I have access to a gassless mig and also all the spray kit I need. Just really concerned about the sills as its part of the structure and I really don't want to bodge the job. Also - not having had experience of this type of car before - I would like someone to have a general look at i...

Hi, New to the forum - bought an old runner last week which is a 1962 Morris 1000 - reg is BLJ199a. I would love to be able to get her back to her former glory but it is going to take a very long time and a fair bit of free cash, which I do not have at the mo. I'm going to try and do as much as I ca...

Will take a lot of pics and post them tomorrow.........hope I have not bitten off too much to handle. I have a limited budget as well what with being a mature student and all....have to claim poverty a little bit don't we?

Hi to all..... Just a introduction to the forum.......Im a 39 year old from devon, and until today was happily married, that was until I went and bought a £300 driveable wreck and brought it home to the wife this evening. Picked up a Morris 1000 (1962) off of EB - originally the owner was hoping for...

Well, I'am not to the morris world but I have to say I love the look of your car and think you should hang on in there for the money your asking. I have just bought a morris for £300 and if I can get mine looking half as good as yours by the time i do all the rust - i would be chuffed to bits with i...
