Ready For All Weathers

Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new roof to help keep its owner warm and dry when the weather isn’t suitable for having the top down.

However, classic car technician Brian also fitted the sun visors into the car for when the sun does come out and a summer road trip is in order.

Once Brian had finished the roof of this classic car, he turned his attention to the under-dash tray. He removed the old tray, along with some other parts to get full access, before painting the ashtrays and front rail, making the new tray, and finally installing it in the car.

The gear stick gaiter was also fitted helping to move the interior of this classic car along the restoration journey.

Hood Frame And Cover – 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible

Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has been getting some attention in the workshop lately.

Brian has been making the hood frame and cover for this incredibly cool looking classic car.

From the photos below, you can see how he began by screwing the wooden front rail, which would make the hood frame, together before fitting the rail to the frame of the roof.

He then made a new cover for the rail from vinyl which was glued, wrapped, and stapled securely in place.
