Re: Thickness of floor panels

Thanks guys for your quick replies. It's a gas/gasless mig welder but I'm going to be using it as a gas one and I've already got the co2/argon mix but thanks for the tip anyway.

I haven't got the gauge tool required to get an accurate measurement so I've used a tape measure which with my eyesight isn't a good idea. :o I haven't welded before so there's ple...

Re: Should I buy a Morris minor?

Like you I knew nothing about car maintenance so before I bought my first minor I read through some of the questions and answers on this forum but I thought the best way to learn was to get my hands dirty and strip down a car. So I bought a minor last April and started to dismantle it. I can tell yo...

1966 2 door saloon full restoration

Hi everyone, this is my story. I met my wife 32 years ago and 1 of the things she's always wanted was a multi coloured morris minor, yes I said multi coloured.
