Morris Minor Owners Club

Starting to refurb the glove box lids

Mangaged to get a tailgate finally. Not in great condition but some filler and hammerite I hope will fix that.

Needed a blow torch to get the bolts out.

So the flat-bed of the pickup is wider than standard. In order to put back to standard I would have to cut out the super strong bed and anchor points.

To save the work and the cost we came up with a plan to widen the tail gate, which has turned out pretty well.

So now a load more body work for me to do during lock down 2. I'm just hoping the weather holds out.

Witb the grey primer on it looks pretty good.
But when you get up close you can see the welding line. The line is more of a valley so if the weather holds ill fill and sand.

Progees in small very small steps..

Rome wasn't built in a day - as they say. The new back end looks a huge improvement

Thanks... It really is a labour of love. But smile per gallon these cars do the trick LOL.

As I'm here does anyone have any advice on changing the steering wheel. I did a search and I can see I need to get a 33mm socket but any more advice or opinions welcome.

I'm not wed to it but, my wife got me a wooden gear knob and I was thinking of changing the steering wheel to wood and getting a 13inch one to match and create bit more space in the cabin.

I do fair amount of normal town driving so I'm not to worried about the extra effort, but appreciate the experience of anyone that has already done the swap.

Thanks in advance.

Getting there!

Little mini project over lunch break today.

Another lunchtime project..... Wooden steering wheel.

Another lunchtime project... Well more of a lunchtime drive then get someone else to do the work... Lol

Been wanting to do small mod like this for ages, feels good to have it now.
