At times it is difficult to remember how Morris looked five months ago...but that's why we take photos. Probably the most significant change in the appearance of the car, at least at this point, is the engine bay.
Although the engine and its related systems were virtually unmolested, it was quite obvious that it had never been restored.
As you can see, in the photo to the left, a great deal of attention has been given to every detail. Every part has been cleaned and or repainted and every nut, bolt and clamp has been replaced.
The original 1098 cc, single carburetor motor has been replaced with a newly rebuilt, modified 1275 cc, dual carburetor, period correct engine. The horsepower has been increased almost twofold. As many of the original parts as possible were restored and reused to preserve the cars authenticity.
The bonnet will be reinstalled on Monday. Until then, our attention shifts to the interior of the car.
Enjoy...
