Morris Minor dash and parcel shelf refresh - Part2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In this video I finally complete the dash refresh with new glove box inserts from Newton Commercial ( newtoncomm.co.uk/ ) and give the parcel shelf a new lease of life.
The heater was originally covered with a millboard shroud and as mine was in a sorry state I replaced with one from ESM (www.morrismino....
From Oct '6 to October '64, the parcel shelf and heater shroud were supplied in a light beige millboard. Unfortunately this is no longer available so I recreated the effect with a "Master 403 Calm" material covering from Boyriven (www.boyriven.c...) and RAL 1013 Oyster White paint.
3/8" Bifurcated rivets from "hingeandbrackets (28869)" Ebay shop for fixing.
Enjoy the video
Please remember, I am not a trained mechanic and what I do may not be the best / correct way but works for me. Videos are made as a guide of how I do / did it rather than a bible for others to follow.
Thanks for watching.
What a fantastic job you have done. A lot of time , research, and effort gone in to this 👌 makes me want to do mine I'll certainly us your video for reference. That one lovely moggy well done 👍
Thank you for your kind words Sean. It's been a struggle to confirm the right spec but I think it looks close to original spec. Plenty more to do on the car though!!
Lifted the interior of your Morris 1000 Traveler and a very good job from an ameture interior trimmer
Thank you
@@workinprogress1098 The Morris 1000 must be the quint essential british classic car
i am going to make my parcelshelf from several lengths of fence palings sanded and oiled using the old metal bar to each side to support them should look different, ,alas i have no heater yet
Bifurcated .....emphasis on first syllable and pronounced BYE as in bye bye . Great video mate
Cool, thank you.
Hi. I love what you have done here and it is really helpful as I embark on sorting a new parcel shelf. I notice you resprayed the whole dashboard, my car is the same colour Rose Taupe and wonder what paint you used as the G27 is more brown than pink/lilac/brown than the colour of mine.
Thank you for your kind words. Paint was supplied by spraydosen-shop.de Spray Can Blmc-Rover Group BLGR 27 Rose Taupe one coat (400ml) (SDS-BLMC-BLGR-27-E).
They were great to deal with, you can order online and delivery is prompt, so recommend. Part 1 video has the info in the description.
What an excellent job!! I have the same arrangement/colour in my '62 4 door saloon, and whilst I have painted the shelf and heater shroud a couple of times in the 30 odd years (stone coloured vinyl silk!), I think I will be doing the same as you have done the next time round. Can you please give details of the material /colour /manufacturer?
Hi,
Glad you enjoyed the video. The material I used was "Master 403 Calm" from Boyriven who are based in Andover. Good luck with it!
@@workinprogress1098 Many thanks!!
Thanks for uploading your work . This reminded me of my father's early February registered 1963 4 door Minor when it was nearly new . Same dash , one of the last fitted with an old stock 950 c.c engine and a newer tenth of mileometer speedo. Being in mind that early in the UK in 62-63 we had one of the worst winters ever it isn't surprising that production didn't match the vehicle build plans.
Excellent project, BUT.........I just don't know why so many UA-camrs have to do the 1000 mph video clips. It's so un- natural and frantic. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for reaching out.
I use the hyperlapse on sections that maybe be too slow or boring to watch at normal speed. I want to show what I'm doing, but I don't want to bore the viewer with a drawn out sequence. May not suit everyone, but this was my thought process.
@@workinprogress1098 Thanks again.
