I used the Haynes book "Traveller Restoration" or something like that sorry cant find it at the mo, but I dont know whether its still in print. I picked it up at an autojumble. Useful book, a bit scary at times and also I felt in certain places lacking in information, but certainly it gave us an insight into what to expect!

Woodies info should be fine. Worst part will be getting the rear inner wings into good structural shape and to fit - and the aluminium trim around the roof requires some skill!

"Morris Minor and 1000 restoration manual", and last time I looked, Halfords still stocked it. Lacking in information? Certainly is for LCVs, not great for saloons, but stuffed to the gunwhales with stuff on Travs

The kiddies they employ in our Halfords have never heard of a Morris Minor - I took him outside the shop the show him - vacant expression - he asked me if it was a kit car?!!!!

They don't have to know what one is

Grab the book, take to the counter, and avoid speaking words of more than one syllable...
