Hi All.
Although I am a ''newbie'' to this forum I have played with motors for a while. I restored a Triumph Vitesse Converible for my son but when he checked the insurance it had to go.
So now its time for me, I thought I would buy a car that was built the same time as I was born 1963 hopefully look after it as I should look after myself (gulp).
So I am presently restoring my 1963 Morris Minor, even travelled all the way down South from the Midlands. I will forward pictures over the weekend weather permitting.
Any guidance/help/shoulders to weep against would be greatly appreciated and reciprocated in times to come.
Cheers
Stuart

Welcome to the Forum.If you've restored aTriumph Vitesse convertable then you shouldn't have much problem with a Morris.
Loads of information / help available on the Forum from people who have "been there/ done that ".Parts suppy is very good with not too many "unobtainable".
The only thing that persoanlly drives me mad about Minors is the mix of nuts and bolts fixings ( see the mechanical section for spanner sizes ),You'll need a set of Whitworth spanners and sockets to complement the AF set you've probably got already.
A couple of BIG sockets needed, one for the steering wheels nut and the other for rear hub ( some pass on the later and use a hammer and cold chisel....effective but not for the purists !! ).
Forum members love pictures and appreciate a comprehensive description of problems, to allow them to problem solve effectively.In my experience feedback...e.g. satisfactory conclusion to a problem is encouraged.
