Re: Doris, The 1956 Series II. Restoration for beginners.
She's going to be looked over by someone who knows what they are doing next week. Just to point out anything that I should get done. I'll be much more relaxed about driving her then. Any recommendations for rear indicators? I'm thinking maybe I should just put some on from a later minor as most of t...

Re: Doris, The 1956 Series II. Restoration for beginners.
Car now has the pipe
Seems to smell less when I'm driving it. I won't be under sealing so don't worry about that. As for
the bonnet, turns out I just wasn't trying hard enough to close it, nice and secure now.

Rocker cover breather pipe not connected to anything.
http://i.minus.com/iLrNSLxpYUU0r.jpg As you can see it isn't connected to anything. Should it be connected to the carb or the air cleaner? :o . Probably a stupid question :oops: Edit: I assume as this exists that it should be connected to the carb. http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/product_info.p...

Re: Doris, The 1956 Series II. Restoration for beginners.
The car isn't undersealed and I think this needs to be done sooner, rather than later. It has survived very well since 1956 without underseal, Waxoyl might be a better bet, especially inside box sections. Do I just apply it to the underside or should I give it a scrub with a wire brush first? Here ...

Re: Footman James problem. No access to another vehicle.
Ohh that's good to know. I am a member and they did ask this on the phone but didn't take my membership number. I'll contact Dace@FJ.
Thank You!
I should get to work on a Beginners Morris Minor Restoration thread.

Footman James problem. No access to another vehicle.
I've just bought my first morris and I've tried insuring it with Footman James but they've refused to insure me because I don't have access to another vehicle :o . Is this a problem I'll have with other insurers? The car isn't going to be used as a daily driver as I use my bicycle to commute to work...

Re: Carn Bosavern Garage.
Ah no I wouldn't do that... It's probably a bit too far away from me anyway. Not many minors seem to come up in South Wales

Carn Bosavern Garage.
I've noticed this garage have two minors for sale on their ebay page. Has anyone dealt with these guys before, are they
reputable? I'm still after my elusive first Minor and thought the ones they had were reasonably priced..
Thanks!

Re: Spotted today.
There is a two door Minor in Trafalgar Blue (I think) sometimes parked just across the road from me on Teilo Street, Cardiff. I think it may belong to the person who has model minors on their window sill. Every time I see it, I look for a "For Sale" sign on it.
