Morris Minor Owners Club

Well, look now matey, I had to find the old post stating the old total

and yes!

So, another day of hard graft. I'll post the pictures in a couple of hours.
First of all, some people really shouldn't weld. Like the man/woman who welded Vicks.
I turned the car on its side today, using a pulley(?) a thingy with chains, this is what the translater spat out.
I cleaned of the underseal, revealing solid metal, unfortunately she was welded using a frying pan...
We removed the lower outer undersill (there should be only one layer of metal... there now is!) and cleaned the undersill, marked it, so we know where to cut'n'weld it.
Elisabeth helped me to move Vicks gearbox to my premises, where it now lives in the living room.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Onne

First of all, some general pictures






Now some more detailed pictures
The pulley. (NOTE, I didn't use it like this to turn her on her side!)



The late under outer undersill




The excellent welding skills of the previous owners
And this is one of the relatively good welds!

nice onne mate. gotta say again ,these sort of pics r mega helpful to anyone doing resto work, capital!!

The wonders of digital cameras! And this is easy to show realatives, who live far away!

Onne

The wonders of a digital camera scare me out of doing restoration on that scale, the pics are good quality!

I'm so impatient, just can't wait to see the end result! Good work

Same here. Schedule is to have her finished a while before the National

nice one onne! keep at it mate, mmmm loving those sills

The car was MOT worthy when I started! Double sills, double everything! Makes it a royal pain in the rear quarters to put right though!

Onne, I hope this plank'o'wood isn't the only thing keeping your car on her side!

I used 2 bits of wood when working on my sprite:

that works well too, I used one for support

More piccies at last, I have been a busy lad today, I have sanded down the grille panel.
Guess what I found... and its not the remote control!



the panel was repaired some time in its life





I was talking about more holes and rust.

Keep up the good work Onne
I'm just catching up on the site topics at the mo... and enjoyed looking at your progress.. excellent

Where's the sofa going? Looking great Onne

Well the sofa isn't going anywhere... yet.
More pictures!



All bearings need replacing, they are a bit oval so to say

Lovely! That's a Turner prize candidate that is!

It looks like its been lots of different colours

I'd never realised the oil scraper rings were so low on a sidevalve.

Or are they an add on?

Lovely isn't it. I can't wait to have it in its original colour, greyish
