I'm new to the forum so would like to say hello.
Retired now but I've been a mechanic all my working life. Once the garden was looking pristine and the house DIY'd to death, I was getting really bored.
Then I stumbled across this little gem.
I've moved to southern Spain. As you can see she's a left hooker and Spanish registered.
I have the engine and front sub frame. Engine is locked up, probably from standing for three years, but I'll be doing a full recon on it anyway.
The previous owner was stripping it to do a nut and bolt restoration but had a bad motorcycle accident, forcing him to abandon the project.
It's been such a long time since I've worked on an old school gem like this, so I've a couple of questions (to start with) that I'm hoping you can help me with.
Once its finished it will be an every day runabout.
Questions;
Its fitted with a dynamo. I was thinking about changing it to an alternator set up? Will that affect its value?
What is the correct shade of green for the engine?
It's a 1975 Morris 850.
Cheers
Sid
