Fuel tank after shot blasting, Can I fill the small holes with filler for a smooth finish[frame][/frame]
I did spray the under with yellow filler primer but It's just shown up the little pits

One thing I will advise is you don't do everything at once. Making a list of jobs and ticking them off as you helps. If you take it all apart at once you'll just lend up with aload of parts. Is this your 1st project of this size? Yes it is but I did once take out a fiesta engine stripped it right d...

Guys any special tools needed ?

I've got a copy of the Haynes restoration manual and the normal Haynes manual already

Is it really that bad ? I don't think it would ever win a beauty contest and will not last forever, but nothing does , but so long as it is a strong and safe can't you work with what you have . Yes there are better ways of doing it , if you have enough money and would spend more than the car is wor...

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear axle from my 2 door, In order would be great so that I may clean up the axel and paint It and put all new poly bushes In and brackets, Step by step would be great and any tools I may need, I have axle stands and trolley jack already.

Regards

Can't remember if you have anywhere to work on it, but if you have, think about doing a lot of it yourself. I'd never welded before I started on mine, but I've now done all the floors, cross member, chassis legs, spring hangers, sills, flitches, boot. It's a great stress buster, like doing a three ...

Morris Minor 1000 Saloon/Convertible Stormforce Waterproof Car Cover

Looks like a good cover to keep It dry all year round

Really sorry you've had such a bad experience. There's quite a few of us on here who started off on the wrong foot - I paid over £3k for what turned out to be as rusty as yours, but I was fortunate that I was able to turn my mistake into an enjoyable if expensive hobby. I was also fortunate in havi...

Gutted for you! Atleast you got the professionals in to check it out. I started on my pillar and inner wing repairs today. Glad I'm doing that myself as im having to do alot of welding and fabrication where it can't be seen once the pillar cover and inner wing is welded on. What's your plans then? ...

Bad news I'm afraid I had two qualified Morris guys come over and basically I'm looking at a min of £2.5 k to sort out my mates work and for them to carry out repairs bearing In mind they don't find anything else wrong, But It looks like he has welded In the panels wrong In the boot and the side If ...

It is far from the best welding I've ever seen but.......it depends on what you asked for - and what you paid for. As somebody else has already said, it isn't our place to criticise without knowing all the facts. Frankly, if I couldn't do my own welding, there is no way I would purchase a project t...
