Morris Minor Owners Club

Good morning
Currently doing up a D Reg Moggie and making good progress but one area is proving an issue.
The bootwell including fuel tank surround is absolutely perished from all directions and I would simply like to cut out and replace BUT I cannot find a replacement panel anywhere.
Does such a panel exit or am I on a hiding to nothing?!?
Thanks in advance

I had to replace the bootwell on one of my cars. It is an easy enough job with the repair panel available BUT if the area around the fuel tank - forward of the manufactured repair panel - has also suffered from serious corrosion, as far as I'm aware that part is NOT available as a spare part. I suppose it would be necessary to cut it out of a donor vehicle.

Thanks for prompt response.
I suspected that was the case.......bugger!!!

It might not be too bad? Place a wanted ad here? Ask around the Morris Minor specialists who advertise used parts and ask if any of them has a suitable donor car you can visit with a chisel or angle grinder! I expect some otherwise rusty cars are quite sound in this area.

Surely the missing bits can be fabricated? Parts for Austins of the same era are much harder to find so owners just make them ...or in my case, get someone else to make them!
