Morris Minor Owners Club

Guys/gals -
There are lots of renovation and fixing-up stories floating around here, but not so many pictures. I´d love to see your pictures from ongoing work, and I´d love to see a bit of working environment, not to mention people.

Maybe even with a twist of humour - could we have a "messiest workshop" contest, maybe?

If so..I can start off with these relatively modest pics from the garage where Betty was found and where she is currently undergoing CPR (the 1st photo is credited to Linnea, the lady of the house, the 2nd is mine)

(Both are shot on analogue film, Bessa R2A+ CV21mm)





Let´s see what you got?

Good idea - but really - you don't want to see mine !

Yea we do Roy... and we wanna see more of the world famous pink marigolds too ;)

and the swing!

I forgot the swing We need a youtube vid of Roy in his marigolds pushing his 1275 on the swing (Only jesting Roy ;) )

Love the photos!

Proper arty in B&W, could have been taken yesterday or 40 years ago.

I dont have a workshop. I always mean to take photos when I do jobs but I'm always too greasy and involved in the work to stop and do it.

That workshop is actually relatively spacious and tidy, I should take a pic of mid resto frenzy with bits of rusty metal all over the floor and tools everywhere.

you want to see mine??? you will only see the huge stash if bits I can even get in there!

You yhink THAT'S a messy workshop?

Ah - right - perhaps my garage isn't so bad after all - actually doing a clear-up campaign at the moment. Pink marigolds are running out fast - reserve stock of used ones from work days - now retired so need an alternative source!
Seriously - can anyone suggest a sensible cost alternative ? Are the Poundland ones any good ?

That makes me feel a lot better about my garage
I've the garage at home, two lock-up's and a carports (plus two sheds) - all in a mess.
I'm slowly trying to tidy up but keep on finding things I've been after for ages so get sidetracked.
What surprises me it a few years ago all I had was the home garage.
At the time I had a Series 2 XJ6 and an insurance requirement was it should be garaged.
Somehow I managed to get the Jag, Honda CX500, Kawasaki Z250C and all my tools in there but now I struggle to get though the door - and there isn't any vehicles in there !

You should see the garage - it's worse

I think Andrew has just won this comp . surly no one can top that.
It was said earlier but I have to say it again "I FEEL BETTER NOW"
You look like a man after my own heart Andrew.
Top man! I need to see the garage photos

This is mine

andrew you beat me hands down
i bet if you cleaned it up you would not find any thing

I'll have to take some pics of the garage, and knock myself back to 2nd place... That's where the chassis'/panels/wheels etc live.

No, no please, I couldn't take any more! You must have a strong constitution to tolerate such order!

It's a gift...

Lucky you!

I have to say, I think I beat Andrew, I will try and get some pics tomorrow....

I'll just put all the stuff from outside in there too... ;)
