I'm really enjoying this project. I got my first Morris Minor 2 weeks ago. A 67 saloon. It's in my mates garage being serviced and brakes, steering etc checked. Thanks again, it's so interesting to see the strip down.
Really enjoying this series. Many thanks. I was chatting to a friend who is thinking of buying one about restoring a Morris Minor so I thought I’d take a look. Working through the series now from the start. Cheers. 👍🏼
I would be very worried about the position of the floor towards the propshaft. Could it be so rusty that it caved in? You are making easy work of it. It definitely took my double the time to do what you did. All the best can't wait to see more!
Oh I just love this! You’re making great progress there, I really look forward to Sundays and your vlogs. Good work removing the headlining, my Maisie has a Webasto sunroof (fitted from new by the dealer we think), and although the headlining looks original it’s looking a bit tired. But with the sunroof I have no idea how the trimmers altered the headlining to suit. As least with a standard car it can be replaced more easily I should think. Love the detail, commentary and camera angles, you’re helping out a lot of people by doing this. Just one more thing, “mind yer ‘ead Fred “ as they say! Next episode seven long days away...... (sigh!) I can’t wait🤗
What a great project, I have always wanted a Morris minor. I genuinely love the tone of this video as well. And as you say great to see another Isle of Wight channel and build.if ever you want to do a collaboration when it's safe to do so I would love to meet up and check out Mildred.
I'd be very worried about that floor. The fact it's dropped so low is a pretty good indicator you have layers of bodges ahead to fix. Hope you are good with structural welding. My floor was similar and my car turned out to be much worse than anybody first thought. Best of luck to you going forward though
yer mate, its all coming out, all the rot is out and new putting back in, are you on Facebook ? check out out Facebook page and our new patreon page mate
Project Mildred aye I'm on Facebook. I'm doing up my own car on UA-cam as well, Project Daily Drive. Glad to see another person fixing up a Morris on here
yer we have a rollover jig now so all good, also the clearance is such that i can get under no problem so if it did collapse i wouldn't be in any danger. (hopefully)

hey thanks again for watching, yer the prop shaft floor is worrying, but we are rebuilding that area, new floor pans etc so it will be rectified
Yes, there are rubber bungs for those inspection holes 👍 You need a beanie hat for when you bump your head 😀
yer both of them were missing, loads of crud in there, so it will need a bit of cleaning out and new bungs fitted
@@projectmildred2940 yes bungs available. paraffin cleans up the crud awesomely
yes there should be rubber grommets in those holes
Oh I just love this!

haha thanks for the love, the strip down is the easy bit, putting back together is a bit harder
Project Mildred Oh don’t worry about that, we’ll all be watching closely🤔😂

@@thefatfrierunleshed yer I've been watching, you just sent it off for work haven't you
@@projectmildred2940 yeah, been gone over a month now. Looking really good so far. Was far beyong my ability to weld her
@@thefatfrierunleshed sweet, bet your lucking forward to getting her back
Please please please get something under the car whilst the axle stands come, just in case.
yer we have a rollover jig now so all good, also the clearance is such that i can get under no problem so if it did collapse i wouldn't be in any danger. (hopefully)
Please use axle stands, unless a car securely parked on it's wheels I'd never get under one unless it is on stands. Not worth the risk.
@@alexsmall6850 yer mate we now have a rollover jig so don't even need to get under, thanks for the heads up
@@projectmildred2940 , No worries at the mo I'm getting an late 2dr 52 MM on the road. Good luck with Mildred .
@@alexsmall6850 yer man thanks for watching
just seen it man never work under a car on ordinary jacks please dont take this as a pop axle stands, please
that car can crush you in a second all it takes a second mate had his mate killed while working on a cadilac on a ordinary jack dont please dont toes are turning up watching you know it makes sense
yer ive got a rotisserie now but yes noted
It’s a prop shaft not a drive shaft.
thanks for the heads up, I'm a total beginner so just assuming some of the terminology.
@@projectmildred2940 It's called a drive shaft here in Australia.
@@paul1153 haha cool, well whatever the thing is called, its out
