Morris growing

Hi all I got the bug for Morris Minors 2yrs ago after a lot of welding on a customers car,it lingered until last year.Following a bad motorbike accident in 2014 I said to my other half you're never going to get back on the 1400 are you? and she said no.It was after this that I decided to buy a Morris as in my late teens early youth back in the 70's I used to buy,sell and restore them.I went on my honeymoon in a traveller that cost me £5 in 1975 out of a local scrap yard and took a few months to bring back to road worthiness.We also had two vans in the family business which was a commercial truck garage.
I did my usual Ebay search,bidding and winning a 1963 4 door from London that had been used to advertise a local cafe.I collected it and decided a strip back to bare shell required,which I did over christmas 2015,it was then I discovered the 40th rally was taking place this year and I wouldn't be able to get this ready in that time,so enter Juliet,Ebay again 1970 2 door won,collected sunday and although mechanically sound+12 months MOT will need my magic cosmetically to be at least presentable for the rally.So look forward to seeing you all in July at Catton Hall 10 mins from where I live...[frame]
