1967 Morris Oxford Traveller - Holy thread revival batman

Great job on the gauge, the list of jobs must be getting smaller now?!

Great it'll be running by the weekend then yeah?

^^^ this is what it's all about, top work dear boy!

Nice job on the seat, what colour carpets are we having or did I miss that when I wasnt paying attention?!!

Marvellous work!

That was on the shortlist
But I've gone with 4m of Martrim Mulberry.
That way the kick panels and centre console side should blend in nicely.

I think I might swap out the bright red seatbelts I have for a nice grey though.

Hi Wurzel - good to see you over here - and thanks for the kind words.

I don't know how your father at 6'1" could drive on a Morris bench seat, that is an inch taller than me, and it was completely un-driveable for me.
Even the clearance under the wheel was minimal.
But it is okay now.

I was told my bench seat came from a Fintail Farina. The A55 Mk 2 or the early Mk V Oxford.
The armrest is identical to yours, but the trimming on the backrest is different.

This is from an un-restored car



Hasn't been much progress in the last few weeks alas.
I picked up a tendon injury in my right hand, so left the tools alone.
An ultrasound today diagnosed it, and I can carry on - with maybe a steroid injection at some point.
So very happy about that.

How about a stablemate?

(A bit rough around the edges).

Golly you cant be that far off now? have you got a new list of remaining jobs?
