BearsFan315 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Very Nice build there, turned out great, and a LOT of work and love went into the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Zimmermann Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Compared to you, it seems that the Morris on the first picture is a 3/4 model! Can you fit comfortably into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard1 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Actually there is quite a bit of head room, several inches over my head. A little tight on leg room, but that might be the bigger seats I put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard1 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Just to add a few things I've done to fine tune it, starting by adding a temperature sender to the transmission case to see the engine/trans oil temp. And Dynamat Hoodliner to the hood/bonnet to absorb the engine noises. With foil tape on the edges. And after replacing the flexible exhaust coupling, I cut the downward exhaust tubes to raise the exhaust a few inches, and added an aluminum skid plate [img} Then added a fuel pressure regulator to trop the pressure from 3 bars to 1. http://www.widman.biz/mini_pics/small/fuel_pressure_regulator.jpg[/img} and made a marine vinyl cover for the bed Edited July 2, 2017 by Richard1 (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard1 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Well, we got through covid, and my retirement with a move to Florida. After 7 months of paperwork, and 50 days in transit, my cars are now in the USA. They have gone through customs, and now waiting their turns at the Fl inspection station, where they only inspect in certain counties, and the closest is only on Wednesday mornings, so waiting my 3 turns. This was the day after they arrived, with my grandkids cleaning them up and posing.

Eventually it will be her inheritance. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
