Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi Everyone
I’ve had my Moggie for 17 yrs. used it everyday until my job ment driving 1hr 40 mins each way to work. It’s been in a dry(ish) barn for the last 10yrs until now, when I think it needs to be back on the road.
At the moment the starter is stuck, but after this long I didn’t expect to even get to that point. The underside will be getting a look over very soon. I’m hopeful there isn’t too much by way of welding to be done, but we will see. I always had previous work done by a minor specialist, so box sections etc replaced rather than patched over. We will see.
Expecting to need underside welding doing, can anyone recommend a cage to make things easier.
Once I get it going (and stopping!) the structural work will be the priority, assuming it isn’t condemned by my pal when he has a close look underneath.
Reading around the forum there seems to be a lot of enthusiastic and knowledgeable people on here.
I hope I get her up and safely on the road in the near future.

Welcome to the forum Carty. As you rightly say, a huge amount of enthusiasm and knowledge on here to assist you. No doubt someone will be along soon with advice you are seeking about the cage. Not me though... I know nuuufink!

Meantime, when you have time, how about sharing some pics of your car... we like to see what other folks projects look like!

Hi Palacebear.
Heres a few examples of the initial work to be done, after I get the wheels turning, brakes stopping and engine at least thinking about turning. It mostly seems to be on the off side, I had quite a bit of work done on the near side , which seems to be ok. Thing is, I’m thinking that was quite recent, it was however about 19 years ago! It has been in a dry barn for most of the time since however.
