A Minor Restoration Part 7 - Cutting off the sills... again

Seventh instalment in restoring my 1970 Morris Minor. Cutting the floor again to fix the alignment issues.

Well it's good for us that you that you made a mistake and had the guts to show us so we don't. Most channels only show the good bits. The thing I try to remember when I realise I have made a mistake is a quote someone once told me. " A man who never made a mistake never made anything". 👍

Great videos of restoring an affordable classic. Keep them coming. Knowing where you are sourcing panels etc. would be nice.

I have binge watched this whole series. I maybe a bit weird but I enjoyed watching hours of grinding and welding because it is clear that you are putting care and attention into what you are doing. Good luck for the rest of the project.

Surely to goodness they could have designed a simpler layout for the sills rather than that complex structure? You’ve a heart like a lion!

How's progress? A winter break? Really appreciate the honesty in videos as it helps us avoid SOME of the potential errors!

Nearly finished editing the latest video which will explain some of the lack of progress! Will try get it out this weekend.

I can’t help but think the heat from all the spot welds removes the paint on the inside on the of the panels exposing them to the elements and the never sleeping rust.

[@hanvyj2]

Yes it absolutely will burn the paint away, but that will happen with pretty much any coating.

Fair play to you buddy. but you can only watch so much of welding. I hope you get a lot more likes.

[@hanvyj2]

Too much? Was wondering whether to cut some of the welding especially the long floor seam, I will cut more in future. Cheers! Useful feedback

[@hanvyj2]

Managed to cut some out of the video in KZbin, hopefully it's a bit better now!

@@hanvyj2 I enjoyed the welding more than the drilling and grinding. Its starting to come together now. Looking forward to then next one. Your successes will be the incentive you need to keep this going .
