Hi guys, I am excited. Just recently bought myself a Morry 1960 1000.
Hopefully it will arrive Saturday from Interstate. I can't wait.
Some pics here - hopefully they are not too big Frosty?

Thanks guys! I am really starting to get excited it is due Saturday!
Good combo I reckon John?

Dad had a black low light when I was a kid and I learnt to drive in it. I remember whenever we came to a big hill he would drop it back to third and flatten it.
We also had mud flaps which I would like to put on this one. Mudflaps with a reflector in each.
I am looking forward to catching up with you all one day.
Best regards

Well it arrived at 8.30am this morning. Great looking little car but would you believe a bat had s... on the bonnet and I cannot get it off. In fact it is taking the paint off as well as I try to clean it off. Dam! Also the front bumper had hit something on the very corner that has caused the paint to crack and lift right on the corner. So it looks like a bonnet removal and bumper bar for a respray. Also the doors seem to be missing a strip of rubber at the bottom. The holes are there where I think a strip is fastened and held by push in V clips. Anyone know where I could buy some?
So now guys I think I will look at joining a car club and join you at some of the local shows and gatherings.

I've always bought my seals from Scotts http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/Morris%20Minor%20&%201000%201948-60.htm
Price competitive and they have most stock on hand

Meet up with Dazle today at Happy Days Diner at Upper Coomera. Must say that he definitely has a nice ride.

Here are a few shots.

















This friendly chap thought we had broken down seeing that my bonnet was raised and asked if we needed a hand.



After a nice meet up with dazle and keith we took off.



Thanks Dazle and Keith for meeting up, had fun. Look forward to catching up soon.

Cheers,
Jason
