GuyWithAviators Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 That was me with this one Mine had started to rust in that same place in the guard, lucky I got to it quickly. It'll be a shame to see another one off the road Quote
Spencer Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Gutted man , just bog him up and roll a couple more years haha 1 Quote
Hayholes mum Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I hear that the left hand drive versions of these were prone to suffering from 'run on' when the ignition is turned off. Quote
snapper Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 come on man, even the re-shell. steve deserves it! http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/morris/1100/auction-547869704.htm Quote
Llama Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I hear that the left hand drive versions of these were prone to suffering from 'run on' when the ignition is turned off. Why just the LHD ones? If it was the same as MGs from that error, it was because they didn't put a diode in the fan circuit (which ran off the ignition circuit), so you would turn off the ignition but the fan would start acting as a generator and keep the ignition circuit going.

yoeddynz Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Only just spotted this outcome. Tis a shame. Can you not just store it somewhere and fix it later? I'm sure when you get around to doing it that it wouldnt be too bad to pick through the repairs needed bit by bit?.. 1 Quote
Yowzer Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 come on man, even the re-shell. steve deserves it! http://www.trademe.c...n-547869704.htm That's not really a reshell though is it, it's a whole new car Quote
CaMpylobacter Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 coz buying a bare shell is better? also, giz engine from this che Quote
snapper Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Yowser succumbs to the darstardly reverse psychology of my post. hopefully KK will go through the process of 'hmmm, well err no why not just get the grinder and nibbler out, and mig up Steve. After all, buying another to blend parts just wouldn't be the same car." Quote
CaMpylobacter Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 woud be lush to get rid of inner guards and make up a fip front for it, a-la race minis. shouldn't be too much of a big deal. after that, slam some repro sills on it (do they exist) and be bawse. would req cert and some $$ though, so might as well buy another on and start again Quote
KKtrips Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Cheers for the nice words. Unfortunately I've had it in storage for a couple of years already and the rust only got worse. A reshell is the best option. That black one looks good bar the white stripes. Current plan is to strip for parts I want to keep then scrap the body. Have options for parts storage too. So much to sort out in the next couple of weeks! Quote
snapper Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 so the next incarnation is going to have to be satin white, with all the decals mirrored, and right hand drive. and an ADB badge! and he'll be called edispilf evets. Quote
KKtrips Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 If I get it. Ill do the LHD conversion too. Haha Quote
EURON8 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 How did I know I'd regret taking that snap? 2 Quote
KKtrips Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Who knows - it may lead to wealth and stardom... Quote
kyteler Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Holy loffles, K-ris, that's ahhh.... interesting! I do hope it won't take away from your VH with VH, or rather, UZ. VH would have been cooler, btw. Quote
