Well, it's been a while between posts, with not a great deal happening between them, though that is the way of it sometimes. There are plans afoot for a road trip or two, I want to head out to Broken Hill soon for a look, and if nothing else it is time to start readying the car and planning for the 2025 Perth Morris Minor Nationals in April. At this time it appears we'll have company, with another Series II coming along as well, and no doubt there will be others driving over to Perth and back who we'll come across along the way too.
So series of small jobs to be getting on with to get everything ready:
- Replace the timing chain, it's just a bit rattly, so may as well.
- Replace the rear brake slaves and pads, flush and bleed the system with new fluid.
- Plenty of other jobs I am sure...
A small job that I have completed recently though was to strip and respray the steel wheels, not a pleasant task, though it does look a lot better for being done, finally. There were copious layers of badly cracking paint on them and on stripping back the original colours came through and the fact they all still had the original pinstripe around them under all the layers. I may have to find someone who can put the strip back on the wheels, I could do it though it would look rubbish, it would be better to find someone who knows what they are doing.
Wheels look quite shabby and even the wrong shade of green. 
Looking a lot better and even the same colour
