The Agatha Project
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 8:12 am
Hi everyone 
Just wanted to introduce myself and Eve my wife. We have just joined the club yesterday and are awaiting our info pack etc thru the post. We recently bought a 1969 4 door 1000 in Almond Green (well I think that's the colour) and intend to get her on the road by next January as our regular transport. I have started stripping 'Agatha' (named by Eve and not 'Agatha Crusty' as a friend commented lol) down and knowing she needed two front wings anyway discovered she requires a drivers side inner wing and hinge panel, which I have ordered from ESM and will have welded by a good friend of mine who is also restoring a Minor. Many moons ago I used to own an ex GPO Morris van but being young and stupid sold it when I discovered the chassis had rotted quite badly. So now have decided to right the wrong and get a classic bit of English heritage back on the road. I will add some pictures soon.

Of course I will keep posting as I go. Only had the car two weeks now and my next inspection will be lifting all the carpets for a proper look. 'BRING IT ON RUST!'
