The new patch/repair panels have arrived from Bull Motif Spares. Here I get them out of the box and show you where they're going. There are a number of Morris Minor parts suppliers and I've never used any of them. Bull Motif were easy to deal with and offered fast shipping at a reasonable cost.

The car is a 1958 Morris Minor 1000 with the 948cc engine. Last WOF was in 1995 and has been parked up ever since.

I have just bought a 1955 Morris to restore. My father had a Morris when I was a kid. Have watched heap of your videos they are great. I have learnt lots of tips. Thanks Scott Australia

@goofe.washington953 5 лет назад

Your attitude regarding this restoration is amazing, as shown by your willingness to tackle things you’ve never done before. Inspiration actually......carry on, and be well. A fan from the U.S.

@wyattoneable 5 лет назад

That you can still get body parts for that car is amazing. It's going to be a great help.

@DENicholsAutoBravado 5 лет назад

It must be a desirable classic. Some less desired parts will still be made...after you order them. Kind of like my 1999 Corolla getting a new Toyota mount. They said it would be 6 weeks. The part that came? Literally brand new! Made to order!

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

pretty much every part is available at a reasonable cost and from multiple suppliers

@whatnextsunshine3046 5 лет назад

I thought the same bout getting them parts... it is a shame we do not restore more older cars... :-/

@busman2000 4 года назад

I like your logic regards your costs.

@Badgertronix 4 года назад

thanks. Not much money in these cars as nice as they are

@pbaylis1 5 лет назад

Really looking forward to the cutting and welding videos. No pressure :-)

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Haha I feel like the pressure is on 🤣

Right decision to get the panels mate it will save so much time, I can get the step panel if you haven’t sort anything out yet 👍👍👍👍

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Definitely mate. I'll be ordering lots more parts before I'm done so will get the missing bits eventually. Cheers 😎

@davidbutler4363 4 года назад

Loved it mate😁👍👏👏👏

Thats where i got all my parts from for my build. You are going good keep at it cheers

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Very happy with them. Cheers

@whatnextsunshine3046 5 лет назад

well, I think in Germany in tiny little hidden spots there are stills some dudes and dudettes that also repair and rebuild but I dont know how hard it is to get the spare parts! :-) Have an awesome week... Sunshine

@weezer1088 5 лет назад

Thats Awesome ! And not a bad price for a Classic car . Im really surprised parts can be got . Your doing it right !

thanks buddy. They were reasonably priced

@dermotmurray4658 4 года назад

Hi, where are you up to with the Morris Minor?

@martincunnington2154 5 лет назад

Good price on the panels,gonna be a solid little motor once there all fitted

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Definitely. Should be a nice car once finished. Cheers

@jaggass 5 лет назад

Is your Minor a Kiwi built one?

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

It sure is. It's a Complete Knock Down (CKD)

@ziggassedup 5 лет назад

Sometimes you may be better off trimming the patch panel down to only replace as much as necessary...Just saying...Pretty fair price for those parts.

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Definitely a good option. I dunt want to make too much work for myself. Cheers Zig

@stelitejet 5 лет назад

Window rattler looks good 😋

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

it's bloody good! Warms the place up nicely 😎 Will come in useful when you help me weld this shit together 😂

@radionutio81ij79 5 лет назад

Cost on the parts wasn't do bad then, shipping is the killer unfortunately but looking forward to your panel placing and welding uploads interesting times ahead I think.✌peace

@zoidberg444 5 лет назад

Before you start cutting i would tack weld some bracing on so that side of the car keeps it shape otherwise you will never get it back close enough. Can't wait to see how well these panels all go in. Jerry from Bullshitkorner was having a fight to the death with his chevy Bell Air but those panels you got look a lot better made than the panels he was using. It's a shame it was airmail only. I bet you could have got those snail mailed to New Zealand for £20. It just would have taken 6 weeks to get there. Oh and i would much rather live in NZ mate. I'm still bitter and twisted about how little rust was on your VR6 A3 Golf. Cars are more rusty here after 4 years than that thing was!

@MalcOfLincoln 5 лет назад

I agree. Needs bracing to keep it's proper dimensions.

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

The bracing is hsppening today hopefully. Its all still nice and true so far but I'll do my best to keep it that way. Sea freight isn't much cheaper for that size package. Better value for huge stuff but it's just expensive all round. Haha yeah the VR6 is in beautiful condition 😎

@txsviking 5 лет назад

That seems very reasonable to me.

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Very reasonable and should make life a lot easier

even then, when you work out the materials and labour time to make them you're still quids in :)

definitely. It's a great starter classic to practice restoration skills without too much of an investment

@terryatkinson899 5 лет назад

We get ripped off with postage costs here in Ireland aswell. Those panels sound like heavy gauge steel, not the tinfoil crap used in modern cars. Do some practice rust treatment on the bits you've cut off And leave them out in the weather to see how they get on....

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

The shipping cost was pretty reasonable for the size of the package. I've paid more for less plenty of times! They're nice and solid and hopefully I won't blow too many holes through them when welding. That's a great idea about testing the rust proofing. I shall give it a go!

@paulfowell5253 5 лет назад

Good idea about the "practice rust treatment" I would be interested in the results as well.

@DENicholsAutoBravado 5 лет назад

@@paulfowell5253 it's a Project Farm worthy idea. Actually...he may already have a video showing the best products dealing with rust. Check that out before the expense and time of your own experiment.

try a sheet metal place sometimes they can fold up some of the easy panels great price on the other repair panels thought they'd be a lot dearer

@MalcOfLincoln 5 лет назад

That's inexpensive for almost half a classic car. Imagine if it were a Rolls Royce of the same age.

@MalcOfLincoln 5 лет назад

Have to post this twice.....as others have said, weld bracing onto the car. With so much removed it can alter critical dimensions. I.E. doors will never fit properly again. Professionals use jigs we don't have access to.

@Badgertronix 5 лет назад

Great value and yes I'll get onto the bracing today. Cheers
