Re: BJH 914F 1968 Traveller
Started welding in the chassis half-leg today, after spending a lot of time making sure it's properly aligned. I had done about fifteen spot welds when my auto-darkening welding helmet stopped working, so I'll have to sort that out before I can finish this job. Here are a couple of in-progress photo...

Re: Inner wing removal
Looks like you need to patch the 'kidney' panel as well as the inner wheel arch. If I were you I would cut out as much of the rot as I could, whilst remembering to go easy so that the structure of the car is not compromised. In the second pic it looks like you've been using a grinding wheel to cut t...

No, it wasn't me editing the title. There is no way to edit ANY part of posts in the For Sale section after posting it. It must have been done by Admin.

BJH 914F 1968 Traveller
I bought this Feb '68 almond green Traveller in 2009 and although I started doing odds and ends I eventually put it on hold whilst I did other things. Fast forward to this year and I found myself once again having a the greatest of urges to get properly started on BJH's resotration. Overall it's in ...

Ad removal?
How do I remove my ad for my '63 4-door Minor in 'Cars for sale'? I've decided not to sell it yet (or maybe not at all!).

1963 4-door saloon for sale ***Withdrawn from sale***
Sadly, it has become necessary to sell my 1963 Morris Minor 4-door saloon. I already have a Traveller I'm restoring in the garage and it has meant that this one has had to be outside, and it is not the ideal place to work on cars! I bought this one in 2010 and ran it for a few years before some weld...

Re: Traveller rear doors key number
It was registered February 1968, so yes, I believe you're right. Thanks.

Traveller rear doors key number
My Traveller project came without keys, and although I knew that the number is usually stamped on the handle shaft, which it appears to be, I am slightly puzzled for two reasons; 1) one side is stamped with NF but I thought most Minor keys started with FS or FP, and 2) the number on the other side c...

Re: Where is JFK 645
Looks like it might be in the Stourport upon Severn, Worcs region, where it was photographed in 2018. See this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/51851127262 - you might be able to contact the photographer and ask the exact location.

948cc engine for sale in South Norfolk
948cc engine for sale in south Norfolk. Mostly complete. This came with a Minor I bought 14 years ago as a spare, and has been dry stored ever since. Located in South Norfolk (NR15 area). Obviously used, but no scoring or rust in the cylinders and turns nicely. The last photo (box of assorted items)...

Re: What happened to my Morris Minor Traveller?
Very likely to have been scrapped by now, but it is worth seeing if you can find the exact registration plate number...just in case.

Just saw this on the ITV News page. A reminder that a Morris Minor is for life, not just for passing your test in! https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2023- ... -years-ago

Re: Pickup restoration part three
Excellent! That's good to see. Also nice to know that a tiny bit of my long-since-scrapped first Minor lives on in your pickup - the little switch under the dashboard which turns off/on the speedo light!

A lot of the original images are still in Google's cache, abeit in a smaller format, but useful nonetheless. Just Google "rose taupe traveller restoration" complete with quotes and then click on the Images tab to see them.

Re: New Restoration Projects Section
I think you might have a very difficult time on your hands if you're going to attempt to weld panels with an arc welder - it would take a very skilled welder indeed to make a decent job of that. Best to pick up a MIG welder (don't buy a SIP Turbo MIG - it will let you down again and again!), somethi...
