65 Delivery Van Restoration
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:58 pm
Hello All,
My name is Bob Weir (AvantiBob) and I am in the process of either restoring a '65 Morris Minor Delivery Van or a 1948 Thames Panel (pretty much searching the continent for the right car). I am looking at a Morris Delivery Van that is in pieces. I have done a number of body-off restorations (a lot of Studebaker Avantis, a 1954 Kaiser Darrin, two Ford F1 Panel Trucks and two 1954 Willys Wagons), although I have always been the one who dismantles the cars, taking photos and videos throughout the restoration (I never get finished with extra parts left over). Is there a good source for verifying parts, so I can forward a pic of a part and find out where it goes? Is there a "Chassis", "Body" or "Parts" catalog that can be used to document the parts. It looks like everything is labeled and bagged, but I know there will be pieces that I have no idea where they go. Thanks in advance!
