Morris Minor Owners Club

My old morris has reccently been in the wars, and as a consequence I am thinking of treating her to a respray, however the curent colour she has been smothered in is not an original Morris colour and is in fact a rather nasty shade of light blue. I have asked the MMOC to send me the ICI paint colour...

i think i will need to put in an alternator as my machine is likely to ned wipers, stereo, lights and heater all going at the same time in the cold winter climate we suffer up here in the north.

the search continues

ohh is it that simple? trust me to think that it would be far more complicated.
however i do want to put a cd player in and a couple of fairly loud speakers as my car is noisey especially with the top down.

hummn......... confused I now am as to what to do?

Does any one have a spare alternator and bracket so that my glorious moggy can have a sound track to it's drive :wink: ? i am looking to fit a modern stereo in the machine and apparently need to change the old set up :roll: . I have been l :o king in scrap yards (old mini parts) but have so far been...

thank you for the advice
now the winter evenings are drawing in I fear that my glorious moggy will not be tootling around with the hood down...well at least i can get saving for next summer, and put any spare cash into werlding for the winter....groan, but such is life

Is there a wind proof method to folding the hood down so that it does not open up and balloon out dangerously when driving. Despite my efforts to fold the 'canopy' carefully and tuck it in to itself etc, ther are times when it flaps about. Is there a 'hood puch' or something similar I can get ... i ...

Puts my rather shabby interior to shame..... but as we all understand (especially when 0-60 can take up to the coming and going of two ice ages) it will all come good in time!

Have a look under the carpet too to see if the rust is rising up from the floor..... I hope it's not.

Have a look on the Sterio (yes spelling mistake is real) posting. Go through the search facility on this message board and you will find lo ts of comments.

Ohh - get you!!!!
What a superb machine!

overjealous!!!! do you mean over zealous? Have a look at the techni tips section, on rust especially on the machines dark underbelly.
good luck

It just maybe Rosie, that you drive badly, try changing up from 2nd!

joke

convertibles are such fun.... although if you do it, make sure you do it properly, the last thing you need is for the rust to get in on top of the door and body frame.
