ITS ALL ABOUT CONDITION

I find it exciting when I discover an older British automobile in this condition.  Most of the cars of this vintage are usually consumed by rust and corrosion.  The more I uncover on the Morris, the more intrigued I become.
 As an example, in the photo above, you will notice the white "box" in top-center.  The box, made of plastic (obviously "aftermarket"), is located in the battery box.  When I saw it, I assumed it was a feeble attempt to repair damage caused by acid fumes from the battery.
As I removed the plastic box, I was amazed to find a pristine original sheet metal battery box with the original rubber shield.  The more I see...

I remain impressed,

PS  I will try to post everyday as the work progresses.  However, during the Christmas Holiday, I will be spending most of my time with my family.  Merry Christmas and may God bless you.
