Morris Minor Owners Club

I am in the process of restoring a 1969 2 door saloon in Trafalgar Blue.
I think it is a great colour for an iconic car.

If I can pass on the old shell, would I be able to pass on the V5 to the new owner ?

Hi.I am going to see if anyone wants the old shell.It may be of use to someone.
I live in Northumberland, and could deliver to a 30 mile radius for the cost of the fuel.

Hi.I was going to scrap the other car, whichever one it may be.I just want to make sure it is ok to do this.

Hi.Would I be able to change the pull start ignition switch on my 1962,948cc minor for a newer key start.If so, what would I need to change ie solonoid etc ?

Hi.Thanks for that.I thought that might be the case.

Hi all.I am in the process of restoring a minor.I had intended to weld up my car,which is a 62 grey 2 door, but when I started stripping it, found that it was absolutely rotten, so I decided to buy a good shell, all welded and sound, which is a 69 Trafalger Blue 2 door, and transfer all of the parts...

Hi.Thanks for the info.I have found a place near me called Bowmans of Hexham, and they will sell celulose paint in the tin.
I will give them a call tomorrow.

Hi all.I am in the process of restoring one minor from two,replacing a rotten bodyshell for a good one. The wiring harness is in place on the good one,done before I bought it.It looks like someone has replaced the dynamo for an alternator,because the leads to the regulator box are taped up and bypas...

Thanks for the reply.I will phone around, there is a Browns Brothers fairly local to me.Garym.

I need trafalgar blue celulose for my Minor,about 2litres.
Where can I buy a tin of unthinned paint from ?

That was my late mum's name - only it's spelled "Mabel", surely? That's how my mum spelled her name, anyway.

Sorry,my mistake my moggie is Mabel !

Welcome to the mad world of Morris Minors !
Life will never be the same again !

What is the correct sequence to remove the front suspension,including shockers.I need to remove both sides to refit onto my new bodyshell.

I am looking to renew all of the floors,sills,spring hangers and center crossmember on my 61,2 door minor.I take it that I replace the floors and sills first before I weld in the cross member.Is this right ?

I forgot to say that my car is a 1961 2 door saloon.

Hi.Thanks for the info,it is excellent.Did you replace the centre crossmember on your car,and if so,at what stage did you replace it ?

Hi.I am in the process of replacing the floors and sills in my 61 minor.I know I need all floor sections,boxing panels,centre cross member,and outer sills,but are there floor edge panels to go between the floor and the boxing panels ? These sections are rotted out,so I am not sure what I need.Also,c...

Did you thin the paint down and if so,what ratio paint to thinners did you use ? Also,did you use a rusoleum undercoat ?
