Re: Traveller pickup conversion

I've an Austin healey Sprite under the knife so it will be a while before the traveller is started. I know she's very rough, there's no engine, the woods rotten and she'll need a skilled surgeon to save her. She's got a data plate and has car number 276290. Her licence plate is UBH 801.... That's al...

Re: Traveller pickup conversion

The traveller is in Ireland, still has its English registration plate/data plate and is on the English system.
This vehicle needs a TOTAL restoration.

With my track record on this forum bmc, I'm probably wrong about the 4 door option. I'll be betting on the fact that the car has 2 doors just by what you've said.

A 64 convertible is a rare car Mike? I'm new to morris minors, but the only two vehicles that I've had the opportunity to buy were really the ones that appeal to me anyway. I hate changing original stuff but my traveller has already been changed. I was shocked however to hear that your man had cut t...

That's lovely gentlemen. I know it's getting further and further away from original but I have to use what's close and unfortunately cheaper too...The gear box cover is the sheet metal inside the car that the shifter comes up through or the top of the actual gearbox. I know there's 3 different sheet...

I appreciate the input. Now it seems I have a seized 1098cc. I'll check the transmission for the "ribs". The donor car has a complete drive train that I will be looking to buy if it drives as your man claims. I was also thinking about giving him an offer for the convertible as it sits beca...
