Can't see the pic! Is it home made a la Locost or does it like like it came off something?

PS Thank you for rescuing the splitty Trav, it was breaking my heart, just have nowhere to keep it!
Aha! pic has just appeared!

...and my guess would be home made, an adaptation of the 4 bar set up.

Yes, it looks home made. I can't place it........

Can Ray shed any light as I think he looked at the car quite a while ago.

Oh yes - I remember it well.............. (I ran a mile)

On the basis that the floor is shot and the home made dodgy box section sills were fairly shot and that pretty much everything was shot it might be better to start again with a new floor/sills/spring hangers/ rear chassis extensions.

Whatever you do, please remember that you need a solid set of wood and a lot of time spent measuring and setting to get it anywhere near straight. before you weld any new metal back in. (if in doubt, get a copy of the 'Practical Classics Morris Minor Traveller Restoration' book - this shows how easy it is to get it wrong even when using people who do moggies for a living)

If you don't manage to get one at a reasonable price (they tend to go well over £20!!!) then I can lend you mine to read.
