  1. 80's as "electric bubble" blue to white fade stripe plz
  2. lol fa50 i have one in the shed. Drill a bigger hole in the exhaust for moar power also
  3. can plonk it next to the several sidevalve engines and boxes i seem to be collecting
  4. ^ if its older than 40 years old (rolling date) you get cheaper rego like $80 for the year rather than what ever silly amount it is now
  5. ^ have done just that with no floor so yea im right
  6. interestingly the morrie just has a pipe which vents out next to the gearbox, never any vapour comming out of that
  7. the warehouse out there sells meat
  8. just as a wee milestone shes now rust and hole free! tho thats not all that impressive as there was barely any rust in it edit: also exterior is now just about ready for its final paint need to do interior, in boot and under bonnet also
  9. you could probably just punch the number somewhere in the engine bay without any problems the morris 1800 we had had them obviously punched by hand into the rad support (numbers were crooked and everything ) and we never had a problem with wofs. Thinking about it - it could just have a random number put in the papers, the morrie has that
  10. old cars dont have a vin see if you can find a number stamped into the firewall, or more likley the radiator/bonnet catch panel
  11. thats like yesterday i mean when putting them back in everything i read on the internet seems to be making it harder than it should be on a side note - theres a clip on youtube where they are making ckd (complete knock down) morries in sweden they bash the shit out of the windscreens with a hide mallet to get them in
  12. yuh have replacement rubber, as the ones in there were past it about 30 years ago. did you do anything to seperate the screens?
  13. anyone here ever popped in a split screen? is it as much of a prick of a job as everyone seems to think? (i have fitted the rear screen, which is suposedly almost as bad, without much drama - so are people just pansys?)
  14. thought i saw you in ham a couple of days ago but then thought na its not running yet so you have an identical MINT condition ex pooning around ham
  15. send her to the crusher mate, shes fair rusty. I hear you can get a sweet bus ticket out of it
  16. i would suggest graphite powder to lube the cable (so shit doesnt stick to it) a little trick you may find handy is that when you are shifting into a non syncro gear (probably 1st and reverse) try moving the lever half into another gear (e.g. second before going into 1st). This lets you "borrow" the syncro from the other gear (really you are in a way pre-loading the box) and gives you a much easier change 2mm doesnt seem right to me> i would set it up so there is 2cm free travel in the clutch pedal before it engages (thats what the morrie manual says anyways)
  17. might actually cruise te rapa for the lols morris is yuck spec multi coloured sanded primer/baremetal - should pull bitches
  18. tortron
