Morris Minor Owners Club

My traveller has what i can describe as 'crinkley lino' lining. It is very much in need of cleaning or replacing. Before a shell out the £40 or so for replacement, any tips for renovating the existing one.( or indeed a cheaper supplier)

No realistic hope of renovation. Not much choice if you want original - otherwise look around local coachtrim place. Or - use carpet!

Newton Commercial will do the load bay and arches in carpet, rather than vinyl if you desire.

Bargain Offcuts from the carpet shop for me - dogs, chickens, pig, sheep, leave the back doors open and they are compelled to jump in - fiver every couple months is a bargain - oh and 6 times a year it gets new carpet smell for a day or two

sounds lurvly

i think i will go down the line of replacing the lino and then possible some cut about some carpet tiles. The dogs will be happy but i think a may resist the urge to turn the back of my traveller into an ARK!!!

Carpet Tiles from Homebase £6.95 and the dog seems quite happy with the results.

Ray, i would be lying if i said i hadnt seen yours before. imitation will be the sincerest form of flattery.

After and before, thanks for the input

Really tidy !!! Love the shiny petrol infil cover !!!

i thought so too. The cover was http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=010 so cant take too much credit.
Next job.... re painting wheels.... wish me luck

Do they not come with a plasticine dog as standard? All the photos I've seen lately have one

Wow Rob - that looks great - also love the fuel pipe cover!.
I looked through your Picasa album too, great transformation! - did you use any woodstain when doing your wood?.
Regards, Mike.

as you can see from my signature, i am building on work done by steve 4063 from wolverhampton so i cant take the credit for the hard work. I think steve would be the first to say that he takes a bit of a wreck and gets them back on the road as quick as poss. That leaves 'beutifying' to the non mechanically minded like me.

Looks good Rob, did you manage to clean the original alloy rails up or are they new ones.

Just seen your other posting, so the rails are new, however it says you had a carpet set but it looks like vinyl to me or is the photo playing a trick.

They are new ones that polished well with chrome cleaner. Had a jolly time piloting, drilling and countersinking but i am very satisfied with the result

Hope you laqeured them - aluminium oxidises, so will dull.

Rob what did you use to finish of the rear floor by the rear doors as this is normally painted and that looks like a bit of stainless ?

If you look at moggytechs picture, its exactly the same. My black rail is painted with smoothrite and is still very shiney and its reflecting the chrome fller cover
