Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks, I'll ask all those questions! Got the loan of a garage on Sunday's now!

I think I'll check with the paint shop!

Well I've had a bit of good luck. My daughter's driving instructor has offered to help me finish the Midget. Well why is that good I hear you ask? He was a professional paint sprayer for 21 years so I'm hoping to learn a bit from him. I just found out that I'd mixed the base coat wrong, I wasn't sup...

Yes you're right thanks Paul!

I'd love a DeVilbiss but they are so expensive!

I like the gravity fed guns as I find them better for horizontal surfaces and you can use just a little paint in them if you need to.

I've got a Sealey S701G at the moment.

Hi there!

Can anyone recommend a good gravity feed spray gun? I find mine fiddly to control and it seems to get clogged easily.

Maybe it's just me though!

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for that! Yes I was warned and I'm going to stay away from Hellfrauds from now on. Thanks for that link Nigel, I already have multimeter. It was reading 12V but the starter motor got stuck. I have a new starter motor ready to fit. Does anyone know how to read the amp level as I didn't seem ab...

Thanks for the advice. Great as usual! I'll have another look at it tomorrow but it seems faulty to me. I was trying to get the baby Austin started you see. The battery only gives you a few attempts at starting then it's kaput! When you charge it it acts weird as well. The charging lights normally g...

I sure it's not the car at fault. I've had trouble charging the battery. It was sometimes taking over a day to charge up.

Does anyone know about ampere's etc. and can explain it?

Hi everyone! I recently bought a battery from Halfords and it doesn't hold it's charge for long so I'm always having to charge it in the house. It's such a nuisance. I thought I had better warn all forum members as they refused to give me a replacement. It was guaranteed 3 years and I bought it last...

I bought one off ebay for £29. I hope it's alright!

Thanks au!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if a Morris Minor starter motor is the same as an Austin A30 one? I need a new one as the old one keeps sticking.

Thanks for any advice!

I have been using cellulose as it's user friendly for a novice like me. I don't have any breathing apparatus or spray booth so can't use 2 pack.

Is it true that 2 pack takes a while to dry?

Well done, that's great!

Are you using cellulose?

I've got a very large tent. I could drive cars into the back garden, then into the tent. I'll use the extractor from the bathroom to get rid of the poisonous fumes!

Yes you're absolutely right. I'm going to keep the baby Austin and I'm not doing any more at home. I have only painted and sold one car so hopefully I won't get banged up in Durham jail or anything. Thanks for the warning - my car painting days are over now. It would have been great to do this as a ...

There's no paint on the fence! My aim is not that bad!

The tyres are those white wall ones but some of the white has rubbed off!

I don't know if you can tell the difference but I sprayed another two coats today after filling some tiny holes. I would say it's just about finished outside now. Do you like it?
