Enough of these Morris 8`s.

Any Morris Minors out there.

I have just finished restoring this one.

Great job! Very Happy

I have always liked the look of the Traveller but you don't see to many here in Oz and yours looks like an absolutely tip top restoration - well done.

How long did it take and do you have another restoration in the pipeline?

Very tidy

(where do you find the time, or do you have a team of people to do each car??)

Stunning looking wee Traveller. Well done. Cool

What are you restoring next. Could put a nice big Marina Estate your way. Laughing

Great job. I did one about 6 years ago - total restoration from wreck. Changing the wood isn't as easy as Ed China demonstrated on that recent Wheeler Dealers though. I have a complete set of photos for it hiding somewhere.

Does this thread have pictures then? I'm at the library in town as my internet is down - no sense of urgency from the support staff in India, as usual - and there's no sign of any pictures, but they're coming through OK on other threads Confused

No team of men in the wings doing the work,or friends helping me.

I do all my work myself,I think if other people were involved they would not carry out the work to my liking.

I am totally self taught,I had to learn fast to keep my old cars on the road when I started driving.
Then in my twenties i was involved in the custom and hot rod scene.
A very good grounding and steep learning curve about restoring vehicles,if you have ever seen the creations some of those guys turned out.

Then in my late forties i got back into restoring standard classic cars,I stiil like building modified vehicles there are more engineering challenges than recreating stock items.

The Morris Traveller in the photo has now gone to pastures new,someone came round saw it and wanted to purchase it, another car awaits my attention.
