Morris Minor Owners Club

Got off my backside and did the engine bay tie plate yesterday. Worryingly straightforward job, and the repair panel needed no adjustment....whats up with that !!
Next job is the chassis leg, then its just a bit of seam welding here and there....and dare i say it we're done!!

none of the pictures working

Ditto no pics.

Ahhh - I thought it was me and my %$^£ computer! At the moment when I go to Photobucket I can see all my entries - but NO actual pictures !! Anyone else having that problem - or is it working ok for the rest of you ?

no pics

Nope, I'm getting a photobucket exception page.

leads to your whole collection (which is huge).

Should lead to a picture of the engine bay (nasty, not for the faint hearted)

I've tinkered with the link but can't get it to work. Are you sure there isn't dsc missing from the file name? and some other things?
%A4t doesn't look very useful either.
HTH.

Phew - well my photobucket is working now ok - and I can see ^^^ these ones too.

it's coming on well - I had a look through your album and can see a lot of hours have gone in there.

I'm only looking to avoid moving cars to put the 14yr old nissan in my garage for some MOT welding

Damn pictures, i had trouble uploading them.
Ill try again.

Those links work fine.
I'm really impress with the quality of your welding, mine never comes out as even looking for more than an inch at a time

Thats the trick, do an inch. stop. Then do another inch!!

I wish usually the best looking weld had missed the joint completely
Maybe with an electronic welding mask I would have done better.

Yes, I've been welding for donkey's years, yet bought my first light-sensitive mask a couple of years back - and my welding improved enormously overnight! I suppose it makes sense - if you can see in detail what you're doing, it's bound to come out better.....

Snap I ve been doing similar things, is the chassis leg on yet?





I look forward to comparing yours. Your work looks excellent.

I am still trying to get used to using one, it is good but I do find myself picking up the hand held face mask alot of the time

Chassis leg time this weekend. I can see how it goes together. but the flange repair panel that goes inside the original part of the leg has a threaded plate welded onto it. It doesnt look like its ever had anything attached to it so i assume its part of what morris used to convert cars to LH drive? If so i'll cut that out and get on with the chassis leg!

That is where the clutch pedal would be on a LHD car, it shouldn't stop the new chassis leg section going in.

well it did, so i cut it out!

HI young gun is this another moggie your doing?? great to see some more pics of what I might need to do

Nope this is the same one, I need to take some more pictures actually as the paint has started to go on underneath! SHOCK HORROR!!
