FRONT GUARDS AND INNER ENGINE PANELS Guards Before this is what I started with ! preparing the to guards for their first bath in vinegar the pane on the left has just been removed from the vinegar bath and the one on the right is after the first clean with a wire brush in the grinder. I will add some pics of this process without adding comments AFTER The inner panels

METAL REMOVAL FROM FRAME

REMOVAL OF BODY STEEL OVER THE WOOD This panel was a pain in the *** to remove but the results of the wood top gives me encouragement I am happy with the results of the top frame. I have found some staggering differences between the two sides of the car. the drivers side for us in the uk/aus runs to the back of the door opening. whilst on the passenger side it has a smaller piece from the front to the back of the door opening. I'm hoping to explain this one day. the inside of the *** piece is good apart from the crap they used to stick it to the wood which is also a pain in the *** to remove. these are the 2 pieces that scared me the most on this car. they are a very long shaped, bent piece of wood to an exact radius. my hats off to the guys who do these, they are perfect.. the inner plywood panels are beyond help but they are easy to replace. I will brace up both side to the  table and then I will remove all the pieces that join both sides togeth...

WELCOME

WELCOME TO MY BLOG  Through this blog i will show the process of saving this 1964 Morgan 4 /4. The car came to me in reasonable condition although there is a lot of work to be done. As you can see for the pictures i will continue to add there is much rust and damage to the body of the car. When the car was picked up the motor, gearbox, electrics, dash, seats yes basically every thing had been removed from the car. This turned out to be a blessing as it reduced the tear down time.  I have now had the car for 3 weeks and it is basically a chassis a frame and many preserved parts packed away safe until the time they need to be restored and returned to the car. I will show pictures of many of these parts as the posts continue to grow. For now i will post a few pics of where the car is up to at the time of typing this. Please feel free to comment on any posts or ask questions if you have any. Cheers
