Welcome to the forum! Hopefully one of the Morris 8 owners will be along in a minute to answer your query.

How good/bad is the Morris - big job do you think?

Hi dannyj1979.
I hope that you have lots of fun with your Morris. I do not know if you are new to this game, or a seasoned pro, but from your question I offer a word of advice. Do not go spending a lot of green folding stuff on tyres at the moment if you have work to do on the car. Tyres deteriorate and never faster than when they are not being used. Make tyres your last spend. They will not cost a significant amount different in 6months - 12 months or whatever time in the future when you are ready for the road!
Cheers

Paul
