Very satisfying to watch from start to finish, and there is something that feels good when you see Red Oxide on a Car,it is almost like you are nearly finished.
Wow that has been a major restoration/rebuild job! You must be so pleased with the result. Job well done. Thanks for the printers by way ..... yours Jack. Wife says she'll drop you some home made strawberry jam in the summer.
Amazing! I am about to purchase a 1964 Morris Minor 1000. She has also been in a garage for 20+ years, but it is in better condition than this car was before restoration. The sills will probably need replacing, or at least a chunk welded in towards the front where it has rotted. The front floor pans and front wheel arches will also need replacing. Everyone has told me it is scrap, not worth it, etc. I believe she can be saved!
Well done what an Inspiration heck of a project to take on. Seen some fantastic tips along the way as well. I'm also doing a Series 2 nowhere near as bad luckily for me but have to say again an Inspired film which I will watch again from time to time top marks.
Nice job , I still miss the muggy thousands , I think I had 6 of them in all , we used to be able to buy them in Wales in the late 70’s early 80’s running for around £50 , those days won’t be back ha ha .
Hy Sam Herford getting the windscreen in is not too hard you need to put a piano wire or any small flexible wire around the inside of the windscreen rubber ending at the top or bottom (with rubber on the windscreen) then you need an assistance yo help you put the windscreen in place from outside you need to be inside holding the wire and as your assistance pushes the windscreen in at the bottom first and work your way up, the wire is to pull the rubber over the lip inside while you pull the wire free from the rubber slowly as you go along,it may take a few goes if you are not experienced but will work after you get the hang cheers Mike
Many years ago I put a Minor engine and gearbox in my 1956 Reliant Regal. It didn't go any faster due to the back axle ratio but it was fun. I could power drift it around the bends with a pair of 6.40 13 tyres on the back.
Congrats on a great build, really enjoyed watching its progress.
Great work. Wish I'd kept me. Love the wooden system. Very clever.

I'd rather spend my money renovating a minor than spend it on new and depreciate like hell. Old great to save and less to go wrong.
Amazed. Fantastic you saved her.

that is a lot of rust! Well done for getting your teeth into it, most (including me) would be scared away by that much corrosion.
Great job...

Clever turning system !!
Getting that front windscreen back in is no easy job!
excellent fancy giving me some pointers on mine. top looks good but underneath is shot 😔
Brilliant...
if only car companies waxolyed them when they were built
A friend of mine put in the extra reinforcement and made it into a convertible.

Awful colour
No, it’s perfect.
