Morris Minor Owners Club

So, was working on Norma today and thought I'd take the back seat out to see if there was rust lurking underneath but I was suprised to find everything solid and this was in it's place aswell, I'm guessing either it was used for the carpet or fell out of someones pocket....... XD[frame][/frame]

Do not know about cutting carpets more like bodies.
Did the car previously belong to a vet or a surgeon? OR a gangland enforcer

Haha exactly what I was thinking :') and well owner I just bought it off owned it since 1988 and before that owned by some posh guy by the looks of the history haha so not to sure just getting a tad scared what else I may find

where else could things hide?

Was replacing the floor panels on our '61 saloon, had it on a rotisserie. After turning it over and back numerous times a very rusty 10mm X 12mm Toyota wrench fell out. Don't know where it was hiding but suspect it may have been in the area of one of the A pillars and the inner fender.

Haha wow really? bet that quickly got added to the toolbox

I lost my Elora 10mm "wrench" recently - kept it in the cab as it
fits the battery terminal bolts.

Great shame 'cos I had it since the early '80s!

I sense a conspiracy, although NO "Grassy Knolls" nearby!

Several discarded parking tickets and a metric feeler gauge! Oh and an '80's 10p peice ;)

Oh so very useful then haha

Did you put the tickets in then history

After I got the 948cc taking the rear base up, half a crown (1962 I think).

More annoyingly, the soundproofing tarred horsehair constantly disintegrating,the car always smells dusty,

In the 1098 2 door, oddments of surface rust, repainted,paint-lifted,will have to try a different primer for the enamel.

Haha awhhh yeah I was suprised I didn't find rust :')

In Steveys project we found a very large rats nest, thankfully empty but very smelly with the nest going into the box section under the seat full of paper and horse hair padding from the seats and bits of bone - minging.........
