Welcome to the forum

Hi Pete & Jade welcome aboard.

Thanks all for the welcome! Work is slow on my project and pics dont really show much but will see what I can organise for you.Unlike the rust issues you suffer there,mine is not to bad,had to form and fit a new passenger side chassis rail and a few bits behind the guards when they were removed and a little under the sill panels but that all good now.I will post anything else regards progress etc in the projects thread and keep you advised from time to time.Regards Pete.

Gid Day Mate. Welcome

Hi nice to meet you all,
i took action today and started taking boris to pieces then panicked and spent afternoon on here working out what to do so thanks for all the old and new questions asked and answered.

Well, I finally went and done it. After years of debating, should I, shouldn't I..................

I totally ignored the wife, and the overtones from my mechanic father (they have no brakes son, I mean, there are NO brakes!) and purchased a 1964 Morris 1000

At the moment it is almond green, a pretty rough spray job is hiding a load o filler

I plan on using Ollie (wife picked the name) every day I can. I have already fallen in love with the need to concentrate and think ahead approach to driving. Oh, some of you may always be like that, but when I'm driving my modern car, i always have something to distract me

I have already benefited from your technical message board as the battery went flat on me yesterday. So new bushes for the dynamo have been purchased aff ebay.

Boy, it is fun to drive though, and more than an ample substitute for the motorbike

cheers

And - if kept in good condition - it DOES have brakes ! They are only useless if neglected. Welcome to the forum.

the battery went flat on me yesterday. So new bushes for the dynamo have been purchased off ebay.

Hi Archie and welcome, I assume its just a typo and that you meant new brushes.

Hi Pete and Archie

Welcome (just catching up after a stressful week )

Nope, I'm just thick

You say tomato, I say........cucumber.

Oh no! Hope I haven't just bought two privet hedges off ebay! That won't fix my dynamo

No, but on the plus side they will help to disguise your less than perfect paint job

Welcome to the messageboard Archie. Any problems just ask - someone on here will know the answer
