Emmerson-good luck with yours, Im sure it will be a fantastic sense of acheivment
"go for it man" actually Im not, am of the female variety which is part of my problem with the mechanical/engineering side

Aupickup thats so nice-thank you
Will let you know what mr woody says next week.

I thought the £700 for 2 doors was expensive too and to be honest thats what was making think It was going to cost a fortune to put things right. I have the reciept from the garage though!

Actually no strangely the door hinge thing wasnt obvious-it should have been I see your point but truely it wasnt, just suddenly seemed to all fall apart yesterday :( Came with the receipts for 2 new rear doors fitted by a specialist garage (£700) 2 yrs ago, seems strange that they fixed these onto ...

I dont want to make money-siurely no one in their right mind would restore a moggy to make money :-? I CANT do it myself, have lots of other skills (hopefully!) but no mechanical ones, I just love moggies and want one that I can drive without worrying that the back door is going to fall off and kids...

Im not interested in making a profit, I just dont want to spend 10k if I can buy similar for 5K! If I do the work-I will keep the car. Am looking to have something I can use a few times a week and enjoy-thats safe and not falling apart. I will see what Mr Woodies has to say next week. Am hoping he w...

Sorry my question was a bit garbled! The back doors are fine, its the timber frame on the car thats the issue (about £2k I think?). When I referred to doors I meant the front doors-they are quite rusty on the bottom :-? I am in east sussex nr lewes. I have actually phoned Woodies in chichester today...

I bought a 1970 traveller last month, I paid just over £1000, it had an insurance valuation last year of £2000. It has obviously been maintained (but fairly minimally). It seems a good runner and has useful additions such as seatbelts. It was apperently restored/overhauled 12 yrs ago at a morris cen...

Thanks guys-will be bombarding you with Numpty questions. Will take a pic of my convertible for you when the sun next comes out, she is in lovely and original condition. Think I will do a bit of traveller tarting up now, smarten up wheels, polish chrome, tcut etc then look to sorting out woodwork (s...

Many thanks

Have posted an intro in General so as not to clog up this bit

Hi Have posted my first numpty question and thought an introduction would be polite. I live in east Sussex and have always loved Moggies, For my birthday a few years ago my lovely husband bought me the ultimate sports car-a cream morris convertible 1958. Shes lovely but very much only used when the ...

Hi, Im a newbie and a complete novice at this whole repair restoration stuff but am a lifelong moggy fan so be nice :) Just collected my new traveller, shes a lovely beast, Trafalger blue, 1970, was rebuilt 14yrs ago including new woodwork. The woodwork is generally in very solid condition though co...
