1960 Morris Minor

Looks Good Josh

my colour choice would be post office red, but metallic blue would look good on a minor too.


Good Luck

Hi!

I did this kidney panel repair yesterday, but with an invisible mod to eliminate the water trap that causes the problem in the first place. I've posted in "Bodywork"....."Long time no see...."

I've asked for help on how to get pictures up, as I have a diagram ready to go.

Possibly too late for you now, having welded up your repair, but maybe worth a look to see if the idea grabs you. I really hate this design fault, and in your shoes I would cut out what I'd done, and go for the mod. It's quick to do and an easy weld.

(Re uploading pictures......see how yours come up just as text from my end ???????????? )

Wilco!

Cheers!

I've done the job today, taking pictures as I went.

Am experiencing upload nirvana!

Re, from earlier post:

"........and in your shoes I would cut out what I'd done, and go for the mod."

This is my way of expressing how much this fault irritates me.............in no way am I telling you what to do . Nor am I implying that this mod is the best thing since mods started.

Just an idea.

WOW, You guys don't hang around. Took me 4 years to finish the welding on my moggie, and still not finished. Guess I'm a slow worker. Just uploaded my project, so take a peak and any advice, suggestions are more than welcome.

[hanvyj]

Sorry to hear you arn't going to be posting anymore - can we continue following the restoration on any other forums?

[mmjosh]

well i have decided i havent got the time or patience to weld anymore panels so i have contacted my mate who has gave me a resonable price to finish all the welding off for me

[les]

Giving up----never a good sign. Btw r u back with us now?

[mmjosh]

yes i am back here im not giving up i just dont have the time being as i working and the nights are drawing in so the welder will start and get it done in the day time so i can just paint it underneath then put it back together

[DaisyMayFozz]

good to see your staying! make sure your mate takes lot's of pics!

[mmjosh]

well my grandad will while im at work

[mmjosh]

I cut out the floor last thursday[frame][/frame]

I welded a bit of the inner wing up on thursday[frame][/frame]

Tonight i have welded in the floor[frame][/frame]

all i need to do is weld the front inner sill in and a strip where the crossmember went then i can lower it back on the floor and weld up the inner wing and a post then the rear c post then i am going on to the other side and doing the cills and floor then the crossmember and then the chassis leg and thats all the welding done .

[les]

That roll-over jig looks a bit scary!!

[chrisryder]

if that floor is staying as a flat sheet, it'll drum and flex and vibrate something rotten! the orignal wasn't flat for a reason!

i hope you're gonna put some ribs or something on to keep it rigid.

[mmjosh]

all the rot is cut out of it and it thick steel tbh as its thicker than the new floors the floor dosent flex or anything
