I'm back! No longer "Minorless"

Hi folks
Well here I am again, with another lovely Morris! Went up to Durham yesterday, and bought the 1968 Peat Brown 2-door from Rob. He's done some lovely work to it, all credit to him!
Now I have to make a decision.... do I become "Pugless" instead?

If anyone's interested, drop me a PM!
Thanks again Rob! You've made an old man happy!

Congratulations and welcome back - what kept you?!
The only thing about keeping the modern is that you will appreciate what fun driving the Minor can be.
I've just been out in my latest buy (2dr collected Tuesday pm) and I'm still grinning like an idiot

Just finished replacing the bypass hose - horrid job necessitating removal of the radiator and water pump! At least it's now the solid variety rather than the concertina type that split on the seam. Leak checks first thing, then if all ok, off to work in it!

Great looking car - I suspect that airfilter may be horribly restricting the airflow into the 1275 engine............

Thanks Roy. The previous owner did a pretty good job. All I've done so far is to fit a new hose, and removed the headlight peaks and wheel trims!
What sort of filter would you suggest? I'm not really after overly high performance.
