Morris Minor Owners Club

My current project is leaving for Canada in about 2 weeks...so I am really pushing on it to get to so the new owner will be able to load it on his carrier and take it to its new home in Halifax Nova Scotia... I keep seeing so many cool old Morris Minors on Facebook within the various selling groups ...

IMG_20260921_114203_484.jpg The left side rear panel flange almost kinda fit the where it was supposed to set... I cut both p...

Working thru my third Morris Minor project I have yet to drive any of them.... I was I read in several places where guys fixing their cars on the side of the road... Is that really a thing you do? What sort of things drop you on the side of the road that you can fix on the side of the road??? Just w...

Next step get rid of the tin worm infestation... cutting and fitting as we go along...
hopefully by the end of the next week we will have side buttoned up...can not wait to get it back together...been apart way too long for me

More to come

Whilst it would be nice to have the parts replicated to BMC spec I consider the repositioned captive bolts on the Shri Lanka not to be a problem. Just weld up the holes in the wing and drill new ones to suit. Especially if you are replacing the whole 'wing panel'. Very similar operation to fitting ...

So I have been waiting for parts to come from a source in the UK and they finally came....I think they are called "wing flanges"??? IMG_20260915_112415_632.jpg They look good sitting on the floor...but that is where the good ends... IMG_20260915_160015_825.jpg I at first tried to line it u...

I still can not believe it myself...but it works like a champ..

I probably should a get a patent on it maybe??

Made me smile when it worked

So I was trying to install another choke cable...what a mess... I had no spanners that would I could use...I did figure out the nut on the back side was 18mm... IMG_20260905_150505_215.jpg Many hits off the pipe and a lot of chin scratching before I had buy a brandy new 18 mm spanner... A little cho...

IMG_20260823_182921_916.jpg Time to reassemble as much as I can... IMG_20260823_182929_444.jpg As I bought it... IMG_20260823_182932_626.jpg It does look pretty cool inside the car...

I am building a rat rod out of 1950s Morris Minor parts car I was given...I look at mine deal as it was basically a shell and it was free and the chassis was the same deal...a parts car that was stripped to nothing...

IMG_20260818_164648_403.jpg Still fiddling with this left rear wing...I think I counted 10 separate patches that I welded into it...and I was not the first guy doing this before...lots of older patches that still looked decent too...so I left them... IMG_20260817_151052_649.jpg Had ordered these ne...

More to come... IMG_20260814_152920_852.jpg Trimming out the rusty stuff and making all this stuff fit together again... IMG_20260814_161857_349.jpg I have never done one of these before but my theory is save as much OEM metal as you can...it is way better quality than the new repo as far as the wel...

Waiting for parts from Old Phartz Partz...and Mini City too... IMG_20260813_145144_741.jpg Oh this should a be quick fix...well it sorta was but it sorta was not at the same time... IMG_20260813_145151_353.jpg Still not sure what this medal means...the car originally came from Denmark....so it could...

IMG_20260807_161427_224.jpg A little creative patching going on here... IMG_20260807_162149_945.jpg I think I got most of it sealed up... IMG_20260807_163546_265.jpg This is probably my third attempt to make it look like I know what I am doing... These cars are so dirty too....I am constantly sweep...

IMG_20260726_131654_442.jpg I was amazed at how simple this little girl really is...3 bolts on each side and the bumper bracket comes off...actually 2 big fat ones hold the whole real bumper to the car....when Alec Issigonis designed it simple and basic...this is about as simple and basic as it get...

Glad you liked the finished product...

IMG_20260801_163110_531.jpg Thanks for the replies...here is the distance from the front windshield to the steering wheel...2 inches is it... IMG_20260801_163029_004.jpg I feel like I am in a sardine can when I sit in it... I might have the car sold so I am not going to worry about it... I will sit...

IMG_20260730_165036_929.jpg Right front wing is all roughed in and ready for paint... I have to apologize to you folks on here...most of you do welding work and then finish the body work with some sort of body filler and then paint... I do not...I am basically what they call in the USA (if I was wo...

I could not believe that it was as small as it was when I sat in the seat...

Kinda scary actually...
