G'day all,
Thought it was about time i posted, i've been hanging around reading for more than long enough...
Anyway, I've got this wee lass sitting in my carport,
Its a early 1970 morris, which at one stage of it's life had an 1100 engine in, now with a 1275. However, it's been sitting in the folks shed for a couple of years while i was working up in Geraldton. Now i'm back in Perth, it's time to get her going again. Which is the fun bit. As far as i remember (with rose coloured glasses) she ran fairly well when last registered, barring the usual nonsence. However, the registration ran out, and the interior was looking tired and the oil coloured engine bay needs tidying, along with various bits and bobs.
There have been a few things that needed doing, usual bit of rust around A panel and in under the rear bumper, and other rust spots, but mostly have been able to sand out without too much difficulty. I had some rust appearing through the paint on the roof, though thankfully it was only on the surface, and taken out with a bit of wet and dry.
There are a few things i have and need to install like wheel arches, radiator, crankcase ventilation, hoses etc; A few thing i need to get and install like water pump, carpets, headlining, and window rubbers; and a few things on my dream list like some thing to fill the webber box in the engine bay...
However such frivolities require the permission of she (below) the operations manager for the project, who is dictating the available funding, and will hopefully oversee the project to completion.
Look forward to advice and rubbishing on the forum, especially as i get closer to dealing with licensing authorities.
Cheers,
