Morris Minor - Finding the Rust - Part 12

All the body panels are off and most of the interior is out. Here I show you the rust spots that will need attention.
These tools from Supercheap Auto came in really handy in this video:

Good to see you have a everyday garage like everybody else, not spick n span....

[@mully89]

That Moggie is in great condition - wish my project was half as good as that. Well done for saving it 👍

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi another great video on the Morris minor 👍🏻 I’m really enjoying watching this restoration 😁 Well done keep the good work up Stevie 🇬🇧

[@Badgertronix]

Excellent! Glad you're enjoying the project. Lots more work and videos to come. Cheers

[@parrotraiser6541]

Corrosion can reasonably be expected to be much worse on the passenger side of a car. That's the side that gets bathed in whatever's in the gutter. The middle of the road is usually much drier.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.You are long past the first step. Still watching things progress from western Canada.Thanks

[@Badgertronix]

I'm plenty of steps into this with plenty more to do! Thanks for watching buddy 😀

[@joshonthetube]

Looks like no major surprises at least! I'd say even those sills don't really look too bad. It might require sandblasting to clean out the inside areas without cutting the outer pieces out, but that'd be something to consider. If they're solid, i'd try to avoid making extra work. obviously there are spots at the ends that need to be dealt with, but if the rest is still solid, that's a good thing.

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks, I sham be attacking it with the sand blaster soon. Hopefully they clean up OK. Cheers

[@EXOVCDS]

And to think... all I do to "unwind" from a stressful day, is turn on the tele. Your style of unwinding would send me through the roof! LOL

[@Badgertronix]

I don't think I could do it if I was a top tech like you during the day. It's excellent stress relief from my day job though 😂

[@EXOVCDS]

@@Badgertronix My point EXACTLY!!! For me... this would be a big step up / more stress. For you, it's a step back down... able to take things slow, attack from whatever angle you want. Your day job... one wrong decision and oops. I couldn't handle it. You should record a full work day & post it!!!

[@Badgertronix]

If I didn't tinker in the shed I'd go insane! There was a TV show following us round but they haven't made it for a few years.

[@EXOVCDS]

[@Badgertronix]

There used to be. I'll see what I can find

[@Badgertronix]

Absolutely. Cheers Sunshine 😎😁

[@paulfowell5253]

You're changing the glass rubber/seals anyway so just cut the outer part of the seal off with a scalpel. This will allow you to remove the glass easily without putting undue strain on it. Coincidentally our 1966 4dr which we bought on Saturday arrives today. For parts I'll be using "Tom Roy" who specialises in parts and restoration. However I live in North Yorkshire England so perhaps a little too far to nip down (or up!) for parts. Regards Paul.

[@Badgertronix]

Yes I'll be cutting the rubbers out, I just want an extra set of hands to make handling it a bit easier. Chances are I'll be ordering parts from the UK. Enjoy your new car 😁

[@weezer1088]

All in all it looks to be in pretty good shape ! Your doing a Great job ! Love your videos . Thank you

[@Badgertronix]

Thank you and thanks for watching 👍

[@zoidberg444]

I wish i was civilised enough to get into New Zealand. Your cars are so clean and the queen is on the money. I'm so jealous. 😭 I've seen 6 year old cars rustier than that here. Looking forward to the rust repair and painting.

[@Badgertronix]

There's not much civilised about NZ 😂 it is a beautiful place just a shame stuff costs so much

[@martincunnington2154]

Another brilliant video the car is in good condition really,looking forward to the next episode

[@Badgertronix]

Awesome, thanks for watching 😀

[@CarsExposed]

Good man Charlie you managed to have the first drive, Dad’s powered style 😊 nice to see he really enjoyed that ... Nice job mate a couple rusty spots as expected but not too bad overall 👍👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

He had a blast. It's not looking too bad so far. Cheers mate

[@garyphillips7993]

Wow, can't believe you jet washed it & still had the car left! 😉😁 When I had mine, I had planned on getting it chemical dipped/stripped & see what was left. Pretty sure a sand blast would have just reduced the car to dust 😕 It was nice to hear you say 'proper job' the old girl deserves that 👍

[@Badgertronix]

This car deserves a proper job, I'm still learning and trying to figure out the best way to achieve that! Cheers

[@Ragnar8504]

Have a look at Pete C's "Project Bramble" videos if you want to see what a car that's been outside in the UK for 35 years looks like after dipping!

[@buzzsah]

not bad, and your little helper likes it. lol cute

[@Badgertronix]

He's a great helper. Hopefully he's a good welder 😀

[@rhkips]

There's little in life as satisfying as pressure washing a stripped-down project car. :D

[@Badgertronix]

Incredibly satisfying, especially since the pressure washer didn't blow any big holes through panels 😂

[@wyattoneable]

Your not afraid of work! It's a small car with a lot to be done, but this could be really rewarding at the end.

[@Badgertronix]

Absolutely buddy. I'm looking forward to some summer cruising once it's all done 😎

[@lucythemoggy1970]

nice nick for its age, esm in east sussex, england, charles ware bristol, england, andrew eggleton, england. they are all good and do worldwide shipping bud, keep up the good work and look forward to watching more videos

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the suggestions 👍

[@andreweh4]

I wish we could find old cars with that little rust here in Eastern Canada. The salt really takes it's toll. Those panels under the doors ( we would call them inner rocker panels) look solid. I would just clean them up with a flapper wheel or wire brush etc. the best you can an then treat them with a good rust convertor. Rust check them after the job is done and they will last forever. Those panels are hidden by the outer rocker panels anyway. We have saved panels rusted much worse than that. Just make sure they are solid. Good luck and that is a nice old car to restore. Andy from Nova Scotia.

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully most of the rust will clean up. It just seems like such a rust trap in that cavity I don't want there to be any chance of future rust. Cheers

[@nickelnoserestos2598]

Cool video.. great music! Love it.

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks 😀

[@nap8187]

Cars where I live get that rusty in 5 years time... Gotta love NZ!

[@Badgertronix]

It's a beautiful part of the world 😁

[@txsviking]

Wow, it is looking good. So much better than I expected. In '73 I worked 58 hours a week and took home $70. But rent was only $100 per month for a 2 bedroom apartment. My 69 Malibu payment was $45 a month. The good ole days. 😉

[@Badgertronix]

Not too much welding for you to do 👍 58 hours a week is a decent haul, I'd never get this car finished if I pulled those hours at work

[@txsviking]

@@Badgertronix I was young. lol

[@whatnextsunshine3046]

Yes.

[@duckyakauffetjurswe4533]

I suggest you have a look at PeteC ´s Channel cortinacity and look how he deals with the metalwork on hes ford cortina MK3

[@Badgertronix]

I came across his channel via Hubnut. I will check it out. Cheers

[@GeeenJ]

very lucky on the rust side of things most of the small areas you could make repair sections your self always had a soft spot for the morrys like the van and utes

[@Badgertronix]

Will see what shape it's in once I've stripped and dealt with the rust. Maybe DIY patch panels will do the job. Cheers

[@snocrushr]

Wish all my cars were that solid 👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

I'm very happy that it is nice and solid! Cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

Looks like a bit more work after the dirts washed off. Looks like your into at least three weeks of restoration. Good stuff 👍

[@Badgertronix]

A little bit of work but nothing too heavy duty. Thanks buddy

[@ziggassedup]

Not too shabby Johno...

[@Badgertronix]

Cheers Zig, not too daunting

[@volgnit]

"Saving money already.'" Every cent counts. Lol !! You're gonna be a busy boy with this one. But then, you do seem to keep yourself occupied at all times.

[@Badgertronix]

I don't think it's possible to save too much money in the classic car restoration business 😂 cheers mate, it's a fun project so far

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Not too bad for her age! Maybe a rust converter would work in some of the spots rather than replacing? And I have to say, super driving Charlie!! 👍☺️

[@Badgertronix]

Hopefully rust converter will do the job after some sandblasting or wire brushing. Charlie is a great helper and a great driver 😁

[@GEOFF0906]

@@Badgertronix Yes, I would certainly try and rust convert the inside sills and then push in waxoyl, as It doesn't look as though they need fully replacing.

[@robertgeary7520]

Nice little car

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks

[@jaggass]

Might be an idea to soda blast the sills.

[@Badgertronix]

I'll give it a go. Cheers

[@dvaeogreg5557]

Really enjoying your series. Who did the song in your video soundtrack?

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks for watching. Music comes from Epidemic Sound. This is a track called Oped Road - can't remember the artist, I shall look it up. Cheers

[@dvaeogreg5557]

@@Badgertronix Oh great. I really liked that track. That will give me a start tracking it down for my library. This whole series has been fascinating. I've only seen Minors at car shows. This last time in Tucson AZ.

[@1954Augusto]

[@ianallen2]

Just cut the screens out as the rubber is being replaced. Go up the screen on the outside with a blade / stanley knife and cut along all the way round. remove the strip of cut rubber and push on a top corner on the inside and it will gently pop out and you can even hold it while easing it out. :). Not a bad car to restore. Not a lot of welding to do really.

Try sand blasting rusty areas then put rust convertor on

Are you a fraction oriental? I have something odd in common with you and thought that you may have a similar heritage to myself....

[@Badgertronix]

I couldn't be less oriental if I tried 😀

[@stevewoodw]

I don't think you're typically oriental (I haven't seen a one speed bicycle or the little red book). I haven't got a full beard and I have a chinese great grandfather. I didn't know until quite recently...at least this is a good project to watch, whatever your ethnic origin.
