Interesting. Some pictures below of Cara. I run CASPA which is the Carawagon and Six Pot Association. Think there is a clicky here somewhere to my webby.

She is still very much a rolling resto but is road legal. All the fiddly fittings to complete then a respray.

DanDaz. I would be very grateful of any part numbers you could give me for what's needed. Are they on the most still easily available?

Nice poptop... 8)

All the bits you will be able to get at your local motor factors...

Flexi hoses [if needed]

Steering rack gaitor [universal]

If you want to buy a bottom wing you have to join the Morris marina club...

brake pipe just have a look to see which are badly corroded [pitted] and take to your local garage [or buy a flarer ,I have a good one and it has saved my loads]....BEFORE undoing brake pipes go round and see if you can do your nipples....Both my marina I have replaced everything brakewise ..

I knew nothing a couple of months ago...

Glad you like the old girl Ruby. They do come up occasionally but usually not cheap.

I have today had the carpets out and taken some more pictures for you all. I found One hole passenger inner sill and some previous work is evident. Some floor holes in driver side footwell at jacking point and near the inner sill and top of wheel arch small hole. The rest in front and back is surface rusting.

Now I have to decide what to do. I have two projects on the go already and can't really finance them but this is to good to scrap I would say. If I did decide to sell as a restoration ONLY project what on earth would I ask for her?

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions, :roll:

Ok here is the seconf set. A bit smaller a download this as I found how to lower the resolution on the camera LOL

CLIK FOR SET TWO
