Molly the Morris

17/03/2026

We have been busy on the Morris this last few weeks. Engines going off for a full rebuild. Spraying area has been setup. Painting and bodywork has begun. The bed has been completely stripped and timber is ready for rebuilding the rear boxes and bed that was all rotten. The brakes are being worked on and lots of welding to do. We have been delayed recently due to the Austin needing some serious work but now we are putting our foot down and getting the old girl sorted.

The carburettor has been cleaned in an ultrasonic bath and a new carb kit is on its way. Experimenting with different more period accurate air filters to see what works

The original bed was rotten so it’s been pulled up and the cross beams are actually really solid, happy days

Bradley Martin Wannell also discovered that after a few hours sanding, the Morris roof has the perfect curvature for resetting your spine 😂
