| I got most of my parts from Morris Minor South West based in Truro in Cornwall, a great company. Here's a shot of the super smooth boot lid they sent me! Most part take days to prepare but this took 10 mins! Use MMSW they're great! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes ermmm it's my bed covered in nice shiny bits! Notice the 1938 teardrops and the cyclone alloys in the background. Cyclone went bankrupt I believe which is a great shame. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I used this great stone fleck paint (hey it was the 90's!!) and it looked the part with all that grey. Of course it's not going to survive the rebuild! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While all the body work was going on by day, by night I was stitching and stabbing myself with pins to produce a new interior. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This roof lining came from MMSW too and I'd love to say it fitted well but it didn't!! Another thing that won't survive the rebuild. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here's the cracking back seat! And luuuurrrrvly arm rest side panels that were made for the back. The carpet still sucks but I'm out of money after those seats! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Right around this time in the build I had to move (AGAIN!) and my car had to come with me so although it was only in primer I drove it all the way to south Wales behind a removal wagon. The car didn't miss a beat and once it was on the road and running so well I was loath to take it off again! I drove her around for about 2 years in primer and the only fault to crop up was a sticking fuel pump (the pump was from a MG spitfire). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
