Restoration

Post by **GeoffLove** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 7:14 pm

Hi,

My wife has a modified Morris Minor that needs a little care and attention. It is a 1961 convertible that has been modified with a 1300 engine and 5 speed Toyota gearbox. About 4 years ago she seized the engine, and unfortunately it has been languishing in my garage ever since waiting for the opportunity to be sorted out.

I would appreciate some advice on who would be the most appropriate restorer for this type of Minor

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

Welcome to the site. It might be useful to post details of your location.

I'm based in Northamptonshire but happy to travel if required

Is it just the engine needs fixing - or does the whole car need renovation?

The engine needs fixing, but I would like to take the opportunity for a larger restoration, subject to cost.

There's a place in Milton Keynes, which can't be far from you. I used to live in Rushden - are you anywhere near there?

I am very close to Rushden, so MK is not too far

I am moving this to the do you know section as its not a useful tip.
