Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi there mitsiland, How did you get round the issue of the track width being too wide for the standard minor wheel arches. I see in one of your photos the rear tyres sticking out , then in the finished item, they are flush. Texas mongrel had the arches extended on his to cover the rubber. I like thi...

Just got my 3.7 diff, arrived today. :D It's in superb condition, no sighs of wear on the crown wheel or the other gears. Paid £150 inc delivery, but as i said it's like new. BMC, i read somewhere that you posted the tpm speedo that's nearest to give an accurate road speed reading, but cant find it ...

No Body else seems to appreciate the damd fine job you done mate, so I will....... This could possibly be the finest Traveller i have ever seen, respect where it's due buddy. By the way, your dad's some singer!!!!!! I think you should change your posting name to " THREADKILLER ". See you s...

taupe , Its a long winded story, but what i have done is return the front end of the car, doors, wings bonnet and front panel back to the proper position. After doing this the door gaps are reasonable at the bottom , aprox 5mm but open up to around 10-12mm at the top. The shell has had the sills rep...

Got a bit of "an issue" with door shut gaps on a 59 genuine rag top that im in the middle of right now. The car would appear to be hump backed. when i built up the drivers side door and wing i had a massive gap, about 12mm from wing to door. i had replaced the complete innerwing and hinge ...

Ive just spent nearly 6 hours fitting so called rear wheel arch repair panels. god bless 0xy/acetylene bottles. Not for welding, the mig was the tool for that job, but to heat up and bend the panels. These panels were shockingly far off the mark . And dont get me started on the Boot Aperture Panel a...

So you've got your eye on a SX200, I take it you've been following this neat project.

If i were to go to this much effort it would have to be a Subaru wrx or an Evo donor vehicle for me.

progress update.......... Thats the car stripped of all but the rear axel an doors. I will be informed by the Blasters on Monday of the time scale for them to ply their trade!!! Not to worry though as there is plenty of replacement parts to be cleaned up and re-furbished. Also spent some time at the...

Yep, it's definitely a non moggy colour. What i left out the first post was that it was resprayed in 1981 and then partly put together, basicly the wings and doors bonnet and boot lid and that was it really. Then it was garaged until i picked it up in April 06. If you can cast your mind back to the ...

After nearly two years under a blue tarpaulin, and e-bay gatting a bashing for parts i have finaly got the garage cleared and ready to start my 58 convertible project. As it stands i have:- The rolling shell of the convertible that was semi restored and resprayed in a lovely shade of "Poo Brown...

MGF alloys fit the marina hubs, im not sure if the complete mg range of cars share the same stud pattern but i have a set of the 14" minilite looking wheels to go on my rag top project wich has all marina running gear all round.

Still wouldnt like to take the chance! When this went to print asbestos was a "New Miricle Material" Probably the M.D.F. of the modern day. Deadly, Stuff has been banned in the US and wont be long before a carpet ban is rolled out over here.

Ah, the good old days!!!!!!

P O , im new to all this message board stuff, what does "pm" mean. GAS, on later inspection theres a bit more damage than expected after paw bear's " that'll be the tarp blew off again" extravaganza! The rear floor pans ar really thin and the bit below the rear seat is looking ki...

Hi there, im looking to have my ragtop shell blasted back to clean steel so i can repair any damage bits, anybody know where i can have this done.
Im based in Glasgow, but would be willing to travel.
Many thanks,
Derek.

My first Mog was brush painted with Woolworths Royal Blue Gloss. The only reason i know this is because the guy i bought it off left the tin in the boot! Many layers of barrier coat and spray putty not to mention weeks of elbow grease and it was redone in the original colour! Young and naieve i supp...

Thanks rayoflemington, that's the exact reason why i ask,
As the vehicle in connection with this question is not standard.
