hi folks,
just joined the forum this evening and thought i`d share a few pictures of my new car.... hope you like them/it
she`s a 1967 Morris 1800 that I bought last friday (9th august 2013) from someone in Ipswich who had absolutely no idea what the car was or anything about it. He was going to, apparently, put a Chevy V8 in and drag-race it for some reason..... when i got it home, the bonnet and bootlid had been painted 2 inches thick with white household emulsion. That was a fun job getting all that off, I can tell you. For some reason the car was MOT`d back in June with no brakes or exhaust fitted 
the front calipers are in the boot ''awaiting a rebuild'' and the exhaust.... well, that has been heavily 'upgraded' (for upgraded read 'bodged') - I can see at least 3 different diameter bits of pipe on there. No wonder she sounds like a Sherman tank at tick-over.
