Morgan/Moss build ?
Hi Just a intro to me and my build. 50 something and been looking at kits since 18 so hopefully will get there.
I have started my build after a trip to ebay found what was described as a Morgan/ Moss shell last year. have also got a Triumph Herald chasse with running gear and log book from ebay. Keith

Nice work. Keen to see how this works out with your chassis. Have had similar thoughts myself but not put into practise as yet. Keep the updates coming with plenty of pictures.

I plan to fit discs brakes all round up rated Canley classics up front and mgtf rear discs with golf calipers and make up carriers and have fitted 1500 spitfire anti-role bar to the rear and standard herald to the front. Also fitting pcd adaptors to give better wheel selection, with the 35mm I made the chasse wider and the adaptors the wheel base is 70mm wider. IMG_20180419_164943321.jpg

As this is being made up with a new chassis and so many different donor parts, will it end up as a Q reg?

Yes it will have to be a Q plate, but as long as it is road legal and I can drive it, I don't mind! after all the work what does it matter its just numbers and letters.

Very interested to see progress on this. Love a scratch built car. Also nice to see a healthy attitude towards a Q plate. I could never see the problem with a Q myself.

It certainly looks & sound like you know what you are doing.
But good luck anyway, Paul.

Thanks I do a lot of research into each bit but probably over engineer everything as I normally work with wood.

Just found time to add more pic of work I have done over the last 6 months so almost up to date, started the body work had to cut bulkhead d in half and widen by 70mm to bring wheel arches out! alter one thing alter all. Also fitted angle around the floor to give me something to fix the engine tunnel to and a prop catcher. Also made up a frame to carry front of fenders, most parts are just tacked in place and will be fully welded when all fitted and works. IMG_20180505_154753694 (1).jpg

Looking really good. It is a shame how work and other trivialities interfere with real life!
