Morris Minor Owners Club

A bit twee perhaps, but I would swear the retriever is attempting to hold a conversation with the Minor. Ah Henry the doggy - I suspect he's asking her to take him away from the madness! We were really lucky with the weather - it was dry and sunny all day but a wee bit chilly :) And my sister and H...

You're looking for " Evo-stik Timebond " .....B & Q http://www.diy.co.uk sell it in different size tins.Got one locally ? Otherwise an Amazon.co.uk search throws up several suppliers.

Thanks Bob, there's a B&Q nearby so I'll try there!

Thanks guys - where do you buy Timebond from? Normal DIY store?

Doh! Ignore me! You said Timebond

Wonderful thank you

What glue do you use?

Hello! I'm hoping to fit Hetty's new carpet set tomorrow (weather permitting) and I have read somewhere that some people glue the carpet down - is this the best way? Can I use double sided carpet tape? If anyone can offer any other hints/tips about fitting the carpets I would be grateful. Thanks :) ...

Thank you - I will!

Thanks guys! It is comforting to have seen her stripped right back and to know that there's nothing sinister lurking underneath the shiny paint :) My little girl and I went out in her at the weekend and it was such fun (though she kept laughing at me for missing 3rd!). I think the clutch needs atten...

Absolutely gorgeous!! And the Traveller's looking lovely too! Had to say what everyone else is probably thinking! An excellent job, and, at the risk of offending everyone with a Limeflower Green Morris, what an improvement the Old English White is. How nice to see a young lady getting on with a job...

Thank you everyone!

It's not a BMC logo, but that may be next on my tattoo wish list

Thank you

Hi everyone, I've tried to make a photobucket album of Hetty's progress, but I've never done it before so I hope it's worked! She finally came home from the workshop today after: New brake master cylinder Replacement sill (offside) Welding to wheel arch (offside) Replacement rear wings (generously d...

Mine only came today!

Probably picture resolution is too high Emma - i-phones and i-pads are high res gadgets. Try reducing the size of the picture and re-posting - mine are usually around 200 kb which seems to work OK. :wink: Oh? The browse button is totally disabled on my iPad which implied it wasn't possible regardle...

Thanks Lou. I'm not stressing as such, I just don't want to undo all my hard work removing the nasty brown colour that was there, only to put it back! Aged wood isn't the problem.

I'm sure I'll sort it out somehow - thanks everyone.

The wood is original and doesn't look brand new at all - it looks lovely and aged with a beautiful grain, so quite in keeping with the car. I just prefer a creamier colour to the wood, that is all. :) I got the clear 420 Osmo oil with biocides, and it definitely changed the colour and gave the wood ...

I'm so confused!!!

She'll be garaged, but not in a heated one (I wish!), and wiping down after rain is not too arduous I suppose, but I want to give the best protection.

I think the solution is that I need to invent a clear oil! How hard can it be?

Just realised its Danish oil that I use on my wooden work tops and it definitely has an orangey-brown colour to it.

I've been talking to a furniture restorer and she says that the only way to retain the natural colour is to use a clear yacht varnish.
