as my vacation ended this Wednesday, I didn't have time to get back to the garage. Tonight I finally got a few hours and finished removing the engine from Miffi. The diff is leaking badly and the gearbox needs an overhaul. The pictures from tonight are very similar to the ones I took a year... Continue Reading →

On my last vacation day, I finally got the Morgan to the technical inspection. It was a bright, sunny day. Even before I picked up the trailer, I had the feeling that this made people drive like crazy. And sure thing – it was nerve-racking experience. A couple of detours due to accidents on the...

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. Many little things and open tasks were completed – I even forgot to take pictures along the... Continue Reading →

Ghee - only 3 working days left if I want to make my deadline. So, where are we? On the bright side: The seats are in and the newly made supports are pretty awesome. Normally the seats are screwed to 43 cm long wooden blocks that are mounted between two chassis crossmembers.  Using two 50x50mm... Continue Reading →

Where did the time go today? It was great to work with an open garage at 12 C° and let a bit of sun and light in. After a good (overdue) clean-up of the garage I finished the dashboard connectors. The EconoSeal connectors had the drawback that it is a bit fiddly to a get... Continue Reading →

Setbacks are part of our lives. When doing a classic car restauration as hobbyist you should acknowledge that sooner or later you will make a mistake – fail the goals your set yourself.  Sure, with practice and experience you can minimize these times – but my takeaway for this week is that if something does...

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 →
