Taylor 1963 2 door

Post by ben_minor_63 »

Hi All. me and my grandad have just restored a 1963 2 door in almond Green. We have kept it mostly origional but we've added newton commercial seats, brake servo, reverse light, fog light, Led's in the dash and alternator and converted to electric ignioton. Our 1st ride in it is to Madmog tomorow. Here is a link to the restoration of the Morris Minor. Hope you like it. http://morrisminorowners.co.uk/about399 ... 9295_14041[/img][/frame]

Very nice job.
I have my doubts about the crowbar and hook engine lift but I guess it went OK.

we went out before madmog to see if she was alright and she was with the checks after, now were were sett for madmog. we fired her up and she was misfiring. thought its only chocked up. we got a mile from home it was still happening so we stopped and seem if we could fix her but we couldn't took her back home and she cut out on us when we were reversing her in the garage. we'll re tune her up and see if that fixes the problem that's what they said at madmog.
