He did exercise the car on a regular basis up and down a private road,although the brakes were non working.
The bodywork was overall in good order,requiring only small amounts of welding repairs prior to an Mot.
The whole braking system was renewed.
New tyres fitted.
The whole car checked over prior to the Mot,which she passed with no advisories.
Some friends visiting one day decided they wanted to purchase her from me and use her as she was.
They just wanted an everyday car to take the dogs out and perhaps run some errands etc.
But after only a week of owning her they got the Morris Minor Traveller bug,joined the club and wanted to turn her into the pristine car she once was.
Knowing I had restored countless Morris cars +many other models over the years they asked me to work my magic on their newly purchased vehicle.
We decided to replace the timber work as a whole unit instead of patch repairing the car.
Along with the timber work replacement other associated work was to be carried out at the same time.
Once the timber work was removed various metalwork areas that had corroded and were hidden by the timber work was removed and fresh metal fabricated and welded into position.
All the inner wheel arch areas were stripped back to bare metal and treated with hard wearing chassis paint.
All other metal work was cleaned back and painted.
The new timber work was then fitted.
This was day number four.

Just for the record I have been working 12 hour day`s and get stuck into my work,very few tea breaks or standing around talking to visitors who pop by to see me.
