Great start :first:

Cut down both sides here ..V...and along to bottom of the boot extender and overlap the two parts as shown and bond together with Tiger Seal.

Also trim the edge that fits against the original rear panel of the car to clear bumper brackets etc. You will need to cut holes as shown to access cables for rear lights.

Day 3 of the rebuild.
2 Times Relocation of the fuse boxes and the expansion tank
I wanted to put the fuse box "only" inside.
That we did not like, then we cut through all the cables and 12 "extended.
Now it fits perfectly. There are about 30 wires per car and takes 2 hours.
Cut pieces to put in between, solder, insulate and re-wrap.
Tomorrow there is a new update.
regards
Henry

Hi Chris,
yes it's just everything on the "other" side.:tea:
Now at the site, I like it also the best.
Tomorrow we start with the front end.:smile:
Love it, thanks again for the MX250 kit.

Two more images
Tomorrow we will install the lights and mount the hinges (front) of the morris minor
And then we will begin with filling and sanding. How long you need for this “because normally”

Making rapid progress Henry. Bang on target with your wiper spindle holes too!
As too how long sanding should take......you can take as long as you like! Its the bit I enjoy the most.

chargerstang 2nd March 2013 21:06

HI NicK,
yes it goes ahead.:eusa_dance:
the bit I put over it for the exact angle.
We want to cut out the back window on Sunday.
How wide must be the edge (all around) of the rear window?
I do not want to cut too much:pray:

seanick 2nd March 2013 21:11

I laid the glass in position, measured the rubber thickness, which I think, was about 4mm, and added that 4mm all around the glass edge.

chargerstang 2nd March 2013 21:13

Thats what we need,
1000 Thanks:pray:

I have to rebuild the engine hood. because the minor hinges do not fit:eusa_wall:
Has anyone installed the 10 "long?

Greets Henry

seanick 2nd March 2013 22:49

Do check your window rubber before cutting. Its +4mm from memory, but I may be wrong!

Tribute Automotive 3rd March 2013 09:56

Hi Heinrich

As Nick says, lay just the glass on the flange and draw around it then mark 4-5mm INSIDE the line, so that the hole is SMALLER than the glass.

chargerstang 3rd March 2013 12:16

Hi Chris, hi Nick,

thanks for the details.

More Images on Monday:gossip:

and my daily question :pray:

has anyone ever installed fog lights in the 2 round holes.

Perhaps the mini one fog lamps will fit?

Great idea about the lights, would look cool :eusa_dance:

chargerstang 4th March 2013 19:41

Hi Chris,
we will try to install the mini Foglamps.

Today, I have rebuilt the cutout for the side window.

A thick rubber gasket I did not want:dizzy:

There was a gap of ~ 30mm between body and window.
Now, the difference was reduced to 2-3mm.
Finally, I start filling.
Now it looks like a car.:laugh:

Great progress mate! Please explain what you had to do on the window gaps

chargerstang 5th March 2013 19:48

Hi it was easy,
to reduce the gap, I'm just drawn a line outside to the window.
I Cut it Right there.
The sawed-off part of the back and put it fixed.
To get around 3mm space between the window and roof I put on bonding spacers between.
Until the glue was dry I had screwed 2 screws for fixing. Thats it


Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can do something with the instructions.
regards

And my daily update.
