1969 Pick Up tub parts

Hi folks I recently purchased a 1969 Morris Minor Pick Up for restoration. The tailgate is fairly good, but the sides are filler laden and the deck has been plated over. The plan is to restore the cab and paint up the ‘tub’ for now….I’m aware it’s a long shot, but I am interested in any pick up tub ...

Re: Cover my car storm-force cover review

I bought a Stormforce cover for the van, but had to modify it for the wing mirrors and the 'pigs ears' indicators as it would have worn through in a very short time. The vendor was not to know this though, fits lovely now....no problems :wink:

Depending on how 'perfect' you like your mechanics, with a standard car be prepared for a lot of tinkering time. Chasing oil leaks, adjusting brakes, servicing, greasing twiddly bits and so on, especially if you are using it for a 'daily runner'. I'm afraid that is what fixed it for me. If you can a...

we have said that if they want to start charging them they can look for other organinsers Well said WPR!! :D People who take the time to insure and bring an exhibit should not have to pay an entrance fee.

It is true that most of these shows are held for Charity, and are organised admirably by either local volunteers or organisations such as the Lions and Rotary Clubs. However exhibitors of any 'exhibit' be it classic vehicle, stationary engine, tractor etc., spend a lot of time and their own money pr...

A good place to start would be JLH Minors in Napton-On-The-Hill, Warwickshire. Jonathon would possibly make them or would know where to get them. OH1926 81789OH. :D

I am now after a 48mm for the hub nuts but the best price is over £30
You could try Bakers Dozen in Lowestoft. 01502 564120. I got a box spanner off him for that job, about £6.50 incl postage. Brilliant chap for old spanners etc.
