Introductions

Hello My name is Jeremy and I am just starting the restoration and modification of my Morris Minor. I am filming all of my progress on the car for the benefit of any one else who may be considering a similar project. I have little experience working on cars as I have trained as a marine engineer, but I am praying that the skills are transferable.

a list of things i will be doing are:
  • Making lightweight fiberglass panels from scratch.
  • Repairing and strengthening the chassis.
  • Modifying the 998cc engine to hopefully double the horsepower.
  • Putting Gas telescopic shocks and disc brakes.
  • Making my own radius arms and panhard rod for the rear axle
  • re-upholstering the interior.
  • Re-spray (in a cheap homemade poly-tunnel)
  • and more...

Anyway here is the first piece of test footage, I will be interested to see what people think.
