Hi Guys
I have just learnt how to post pictures so here goes.
The first of these two was purchased about 1996. ( EDIT: actually NOV 1994)
A 1950 MM Tourer - 78041
It was a complete wreck. I paid $1500 for it,
Way too much very rusty but complete,
and has much work carried out.
It was displayed in 1998 as a work
under progress at the 1998 Brisbane Motor Show,
but has not progressed since!
As Purchased
During rebuild
1998 Brisbane Motor Show
As She stands today,
Not much work carried out but I have
been collecting bits and pieces along the way.
I have a set of twin carbies for it.
Maybe the 2009 Nationals???
The other is my 1960 MM1000, originaly Silver
Pine Green II. Bought about 1998,
It had a 1200cc Nissan and Auto. It looked
pretty good and I thought just a quick tidy up,
but the more I looked the more I found that
needed doing, so like the Tourer it required
a total strip down and rebuild.
After the rebuild I drove it with the
Auto for a few years then dropped
an A15 with a 4 speed. There are
many deviations from Standard on
this car, but I like to keep it original in looks.
As bought
during rebuild
A recent photo
An even more recent photo Oct 2007
And the rear end from Nov 2007
I'm not really that clever and I would really
like to thank a great mate of mine,
John Wright for his invaluable assistance
in putting these cars together.
There is alot more of a story, like verybody
elses Morries, to go with these pictures but
I won't bore you with the details.
Oli

Thanks guys, Your comments have boosted me.
Re the Grass, That was about 6 months ago.
Today more like the colour of green tinged rust.

loverly morrie oli, should be very proud of it , love when people do up cars that leave the car standard outside and do all the mods underneath or inside, leaving it still looking like a morrie cant wait to see the lowlite when finished

Hi Oli,
Is that speedo from a later 1000? Its 90 MPH and also has Km/h markings as well.
Cheers, Paul

Yes that is right.
I also used to run a KP/H only Speedo, which I still have.
I think it needs a service as it was making some "Grumbling" noises.

I love the Lowlight and hope you can take it to Southbank next month. What needs doing to complete it?

Don't want to burst your bubble but I can't see your pictures, they just have an X inside the frame?

Are you on dial up?
If so they are just taking a while to load.
If you left click and pick "show picture" then that will load them.
Sometimes you will get the red X if the host server (where the pics are located) is having a problem OR the pics have been removed from that site and are no longer available
PS
All the above pics are showing for me
cheers

Thank you Scott
It could well be, but it's strange though that some display and others don't?
Cheers

The photos that are hosted on this site (from the Gallery area) will show.
Other that are hosted outside (like Imageshack or Photobucket) won't.
