New pins were replaced with grease for each door. New harnesses and wires were replaced for headlights. This took me time to bring back my memory of each connector at the right place for the front light systems. I had disconnected the all front wires two months before. A temporary blue fuel tank in the boot.

Dear David
Today at work I have the same problem of showing the pictures I posted at home last yesterday. It was OK when I posted the pictures. I wonder?? Very strange, isn't it?
I'll try to do the job again and there are more pictures I have taken.
Regards
Tony

Parents drove the Morris out to take a look at a house's wall as of a water leak. On the way there they had stopped at the red light of a cross road waiting for the green light, suddenly they were hit behind as someone drove his van and crashed into the rear of Morris. The driver was believed to watch his navigation to find his way out and there was no sound of braking his vehicle. It happened in March this year. Our Morris's front and rear windscreen rubbers had been aged with a lot of cracks on them. Father said that there were some rubbers for old style trucks that would be acceptable for ours. Last year we thought we would change them in Summer, but the job was put off as of the rains. This car accident forced me to deal with the problem --- how to find the right parts??? I used to get some parts whatever new or second hand while I was in London. But this was not my main concern about. Mum was sent to the hospital to examine her neck. Father was slightly injured. Family all came back here to take care of them. Luckily mum stayed there for a week and they were all fine to come home. Luck to the driver of the van,too. He the young man was just a little bit injured. Then it was my duty to find the needed parts. I surfed the net and found that I had got the right club which I ignored for sometimes. I contacted with Anthony Wood who gave me a lot of willing and patient help such as sending me the right part diagrams so that it would be much easy for me to order the right parts from him. I would like to say a Big THANK to him here. Also with the help from brother in law, the damage was covered. So we got the budget and the coming parts, we started to remove the interior and exterior parts as many as possible. We also removed the fuel tank and the spare tire. We found the spare tire was seriously damaged. Then we realized that the sound of explosion came from. The space rim was not damaged at all, which is a good news. We put a temporary fuel tank in the boot so that father was able to drive her to another garage nearby for the welding and painting job over there. Almost of everyday, father went to see her and told them what he wanted to have the job done according his instructions. Father did the most of the job on her. He is a streamlined mechanic, who has been working on British, German, Sweden, American and Japanese vehicles. He had to start his career at the age of 13 and now he is 80. I know nothing about welding and painting. Here we started, ( sorry, I don't want to show the number of the license plate here. People here who see this will disturb us. ) The damaged area with all doors unable to fully closed. Before the repair Broken seal and grommets shown to order the right ones. TO BE CONTINUED!

Thanks, Tommy.
I heard that there were about 10 Morris our people imported to Taiwan. I believe it was done in 1970s. We got her when she was 9 years old and have got her since then. My father repaired most of them, but some were not well kept.
There is another well conditioned Austin 1750 in Taipei. We live in Kaohsiung, about 375 kms from Taipei.
As far as I know, there is another white Morris MK-II 1800 with manual gearbox in Kaohsiung. I heard that the new car owner disassembled it to repair, but hasn't fixed it yet for more than a couple of years. On day I'll try to take a look, maybe give a hand if he needs.

Hi to everyone. I'm from TAIWAN. We have got this Morris MK-II 1800 for more than 30 years. Last year we thought we would change the front and rear windscreen rubbers in Summer, but it started to rain. This March we had a car accident as someone crashed into to the rear of her. We started to find the parts we needed and found Anthony Wood, the right person. We would like to say a big thank to Anthony Wood for the time and the work he tried to find the parts for us. Also thanks to the two who did the welding job and painting according to my father's instructions. As mechanics, we did the rest of the work, like interiors, exteriors and engine plus AT. For four months we have spent repairing her. Finally she is back to the road. I'll try to post the details time to time. Tony
