Whatever happened to Mildred?

I love watching this, but please get rid of the music, it would be better with silence.

Lovely old girl

Just because using a drill might be quicker doesn't make it better. I did it using the wooden lapping tool and you could feel the process and knew when to stop and start. Im only an amateur but coached by a toolmaker/mechanic who made his valve compressor out of an old G clamp. The foot was grooved out using a hacksaw and file and It worked beautifully. The camera self focussing is still annoying.

Meant to say inspiration

Great videos and great inflation. Just wondering what episode number you're on now in 2023? I've only got episode 15 on my screen?

What do you call the tool you used to flatten the head please?

Primer is hydroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture. It will not protect you jig from rusting, and will instead encourage rusting. This will also be the case for any primer you apply to your car. This will be further exacerbated by your outdoor shop and salt air enviornment.

hi mate hows it going havnt seen anything new you still posting we started work on our minors around same time hope your ok thomas

I didn't realise the cills unbolted. It's a really good project. Thanks again.

I'm really enjoying this project. I got my first Morris Minor 2 weeks ago. A 67 saloon. It's in my mates garage being serviced and brakes, steering etc checked. Thanks again, it's so interesting to see the strip down.

You've done a really good honest video. Thanks very much. Does it work safely if you leave the engine in ?

Nice one mate...saved me from doing it wrong...

What’s happened to project Mildred ? Iv been searching but your videos seem to stop here

Brilliant.... and great job ! Just about to start on our 1960 Moggy Restoration and this is the BEST videos we,ve seen ! THANK you

Great stuff, well done, I'm addicted.

I have a rotten chassis section near engine and front inner wheel it needs cutting out and new welded in can u advise

Very informative thank you

Brilliant video well done

Good job my man!

yes there should be rubber grommets in those holes

Thank You, extremely helpful and interesting

Going very well steady progress.... Such wonderfully easy cars to work on straight forward engineering

Who"s on the camera ????????🤨🧐

These are such great videos nice work !

Wow that’s some proper ginger dust isn’t it!

Great video just subscribed :)

I guess you need all 'british' tools for this (i'm in NZ and its been metricated since the 70's) Are they readilly available in the UK?

I hope that things are still progressing well. I came down to the IOW in my Morris 1000 Traveller from Lincoln last July for a few days. I now know that the IOW is not flat!

Really enjoying this series. Many thanks. I was chatting to a friend who is thinking of buying one about restoring a Morris Minor so I thought I’d take a look. Working through the series now from the start. Cheers. 👍🏼

You appear to be cutting an awful lot of metal out in one go..

really interested in the videos but that annoying repetitive guitar riff? is a total pain in the backside

Very good you are my man.

i am doing up a morris van as we speak ---i thought mine was bad ----i feel better now

morrys were born with rust

YEAH I don"t think i:d lift a morrie engine out by hand, ther'e to bloody heavy anyway mine was in the same state as yours too

Valve seats are a bit too wide and you NEVER use a drill to lap valves you're wearing them out ! You'll end up having to recut The throat angle and top angle ! You can buy a valve lapper to fit your drill , or use your hands . Those Valve tools are excellent if you remember to loosen off of the split collet sets by a tap with a drift and hammer ! I did c&g motor vehicle and extended modules , engine tuning , electronics etc , and have worked in motor vehicle and engineering most of my working life . It'll run but not optimally. Watching you is like a knife in my soul . Sorry

Hi, have you done anymore to your project?

Great video as all of your videos just bought a moggy myself and will doing loads of jobs on it great car’s I love the simplicity of them. Keep up the great work 👍

Thanks for these videos they're great! Gives me inspiration for my own Minor restoration.

Looking forward to a long awaited update. I realise things are difficult during this lockdown. I hope you are all keeping well.

dont cut out too much at once. your sills as rusty as they r will stop the body from twisting. once that happens, the car is scrap. make up a brace across the sides and back to front of the car, to keep the body straight and true

Good hands on stuff. I'm watching this and your other videos with interest as I'm currently refreshing my 1000 Traveler at the moment to relieve lockdown boredom. I was disappointed not to be able to drive down from Lincolnshire to participate in the the Isle of Wight minor' owners rally last year. I would have removed the front end 1st before I started removing components in the engine bay, just for ease of access. Also I try and re-use as much as I can, e.g. I would rather have refurbished original panels. Patinaed original chrome parts are preferable to me than shiny new inferior ones that will soon rust. Also stainless steel fastenings may look pretty but are not as strong as steel. Same goes for using Whitworth bolts rather than AF (UNC & UNF) or metric ones: the reduced pitch angle on Whitworth threads makes them stronger. In short I use original types of fastenings where practicable, although BA bolts and machine screws are getting rarer to source. Keep up the good work

Great vid, its making me consider doing same instead of buying one all done. Have you considered a mobile sand blasting firm. I ve used these for an old mill in France and god it cuts through the grime so quickly and being outside the mess may be manageable!

Hope to see you back on soon mate. 👍

Really enjoying watching you doing this. Keep up the great work. The first person that I've watched that hasnt made this look scary. 👍

We miss you Really stoked to see mildred again

How's the build going

Hi do you know by any chance what's the height needed for a Morris on that jig? My garage is 1.9m high and I am not sure if it would be high enough... Great videos very inspirational!

What's that Ryobi wrench worth? Looks like really doing the job, would love to get one for my Maurice.
