Very informative. I have a four door ‘65 Minor (Maisie). It’s always good to see such a detailed narrative and photographic staged description of the work as it serves as a good reference to others. Many thanks for sharing this.
Really helpful, thank you. I have a 68 traveller, owned for 4 weeks. One of my next jobs is to drain the system, remove the front and replace the timing chain, cover gasket etc. Seeing the access you get, from your helpful video, I think I'll do the engine mounts at the same time. Incidentally, I too have silver wheels but painted cream they look lovely. Personal preference though, and I admire you wanting to keep the car original.
Good question. I am sourcing wheels (car came with Spridget Rostyle wheels). This is a very late Traveller and the wheels would have originally been silver and not the Glacier White of the grille. In any case, I may well have things media blasted and powder coated despite the higher cost versus stripping and painting myself - if this car were to be used for frequent driving it is certainly a good way to go in terms of a sturdier finish.
