hello all

Post by mpw83 »

I just joined the forum a few days ago and figured i`d better say hello.... so hello!!! :D
I`m Michael, from Clacton in Essex. I`ve had a couple of Morris Minor`s in the past - 2dr, 4dr saloons and a Traveller - but had been away from the MM for a while.... well, until today! have just collected a 1955(?) splitscreen saloon (4-door) from a chap called Stuart just outside of Haverhill after seeing it listed on eBay. She`s going to be a long-term project but thankfully is 99% complete - all the panels are there, but whats missing can hopefully be found easily enough. The plan is to get the car up and running and usable again, with a couple of sensible upgrades (am thinking an alternator conversion and maybe disc brakes purely for safety).

Hi from another Newbie
Hope you have loads of fun with your car
My first Minor was a 1955 Split Screen that I used daily for work, Happy days!

oh, i`ll be having lots of fun on the restoration.... engine needs a rebuild as its seized :-? and a bit of welding, but I can`t complain really. its fairly solid compared to the Traveller I was offered yesterday, which seemed to have rotted so badly it broke into 3 pieces (the whole car!) just by touching it :o optimistic estimate for completion is about 9 months. Realistically? 2 years
