Sure, it lacks a proper paint job, the shiny bits need to be cleaned and the interior needs to be done. Besides from this I the Morgan is ready for the technical inspection. Before I headed to the garage today I took the old dashboard apart. As I have everything on EconoSeal connectors – servicing... Continue Reading →

The day started early as I still have quite a long list of “last minute” tasks before being able to put the car on a trailer. I had the impression that today (Feb 25th) was the agreed date for me to bring the car to Solingen. We had a phone call in January which resulted... Continue Reading →

Is it a relief, depressing or just funny – after a long and exhausting day I only ticked of four items from my OneNote task list. A while ago Mark H. (who is restoring pretty much the same Morgan) mentioned that he happy to have a car lift and is using it a lot to... Continue Reading →

it is remarkable how tired and exhausted you can be after the entire day in the garage. At least writing a few lines here for the blog helps battling the desire to just go to bed and sleep.

It is good to start the day with something that should have been done quite a while ago. When rebuilding the wooden frame of the car I didn’t put the driver’s side latch block back in. The old one is quite bad and I when I ordered the wood from the Morgan factory that the... Continue Reading →

The plan is still to have a technical inspection for the Morgan next week. AutoColor Heinen in Solingen overhauled the engine last summer and will to the final setup. While there is some uncertainty if I can also renew the TÜV for the car at the same time we will give this a try. To... Continue Reading →

Quite a bit of progress today. After the test fit of the scuttle panel the decision was made to sand to the frame. There was a 2mm gap on the right side of the car as shown on a previous post. Using a caliper, I marked a 2mm line on the top and side of... Continue Reading →
