RESTORING THE INTERIOR

The removal of the interior door panels and seats on the Morris is actually quite simple.  The front seats are secured by only two bolts each.  The rear seat bottom merely clips into place and the rear seat back is secured by two wing nuts.  
After the removal of the window operator and the door handle, the door panels are easily released by  spring clips.  
The vinyl covers over the openings in the door appear to be original.  They will be replaced by a clear, adhesive backed vinyl sheet which will prevent moisture from attacking the new door panels.

The rear side panels are secured by screws.
The seats will be upholstered in ivory  leather and the door panels will be done in matching vinyl.  The original "roll and pleat" design will be duplicated in the new upholstery.  The piping incorporated on the seats and side panels will be done in green vinyl to match the exterior color.
The headliner will also be replaced.






Morris will ride again.
