Thanks again for a fantastic vlog on the morris
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Another great stream enjoyed it , weather has been atrocious here too in the East Riding of Yorkshire even though our moggy is covered in the garage am kinda itching to get a few jobs done on her for the rally season 👍😊
yeah weather certainly has been poor, thank god for Gazebo's! thank you for the comment, good luck with yours.
Sweet work mate, I'm at similar point with mine. A full resto on a 1961, 2 door. Kinda guessing as i go, even welding for the first time. Following this though is brilliant. I'm in Lincolnshire and its been far to windy and wet to start painting but i do like the gazebo idea. Knickin that!😂. Lookin forward to seeing more. 🫡
Thank you sir, the Gazebo I cannot take credit for that was Dave's Idea but a bloody good one for sure. We were lucky enough to get a wind free day but rained like hell not ideal for paint but doable for sure. Next job will be get the engine bay and wiring loom done then we should be able to pair her with her engine again. Thanks for the comment and continuing support.
Happy new year to you all. 🥃
Happy new year!
Looks good, nice job. I love a good clean engine bay. Hopefully you can keep all the components in your head and the order in which you'll have to reassemble! Looks intimidating!
The engine bay on my Midget is filthy, and looks like it was in a fire, because it was. Someday I'll get to a full rebuild on her. In the meantime, my 60 Frogeye Sprite's engine bay is pristine, I bought it last January from an estate auction of a former MG Car Club member who passed away and his grandkids sold off all his classic cars. It was a completely restored tub. I almost don't want to bolt anything back into it that isn't itself perfectly clean, so I'm touching every component on the restore and rust-converting, priming, painting everything, or buying new, so when it's bolted back in, it looks better than factory fresh.
Sounds like it’s going to look fantastic, good luck and thank you for the lovely comments again
Nice job!! I’m working up the courage to do my engine bay.. will try for Jan/Feb.. :)
You can do it! Believe in yourself and give it a go. you can always sand it back and have another go.
Ok, i subscribed. 😅
Welcome aboard! thank you very much
the problem i find with those welders are if the welder is to close to the job the wire has to go around to many bends and blocks up
Yeah agreed, they are a great hobby welder and i have found with the gasless welding wire they are fine just when you switch them to gas and wire it binds up all the time. it will have to do till I can afford a better welder i think.
i've been spoilt i used a murex130 in the garage where i worked and when the garage closed i managed to buy the welder
Moggys were always Morgan's, not Morris'.
Really? We have always known them as Moggy Minors.
Oh thats weird, never heard that before, and I know a few people that have had morgan's. Funny old world isn't it.
