AUSTIN-101-VAN RESTORATION (MORRIS- TYPE JB): September 2014

http://austin-jb-van.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). Have now cleaned up the rusty inner door panels and got them to fit in place. So far have sanded/treated and coated inside of panels with grey stone-chip paint and a couple of coats of grey primer to the side that will show. 8 Sept 2014 and 13 Sept. Have managed to do the first fit of the plywood floor. Used 12mm external plywood which I intend to paint, both sides, once I am happy with the detailed fit of all the pieces. See photos at the end.

Am moving on to the exterior body work and have completed the straightening, filling, sanding and priming stage of all of the removable parts.roof, front doors, rear doors, grill and front wings. Rear wings have been welded on at some time in the past.I am going to leave them alone for now and see how they look after I have tidied up the side panels. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). Fuel Filler Position. 24 Oct 2014. See photos below of my efforts.the cap now sits in the centre of the access hole. I did leave the bayonet connection of rigid tube to fuel tank in tact as the other option was to have a bent rigid tube part made to correct the mismatch. However will see how the flexible tube performs for now. 65279;. 65279; . 65279;. 65279;. 65279;. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Solex 30 AHG carb.

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). A bit more progress. Maurice, at MTR, has been sorting out my body work problems and has come across some more issues while fixing the nearside step. However he thinks he has mainly resolved the problems that others had left and is close to welding it all together. See photos below. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cigarette and Tobacco Collectibles.

AUSTIN-101-VAN RESTORATION (MORRIS- TYPE JB): March 2014

http://austin-jb-van.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). Front panel and roof repairs. The last two months have seen more progress on the body work, by Maurice (MTR). The lower front panel has been removed and replaced. It had some severe distortion to the nearside half.probably not helped by the bumper being fastened directly to the panel! Also both nearside and offside panels, above the front door openings, have had any rot cut out and repaired. See photos numbered 39 to 54 below. Solex 30 AHG carb.

AUSTIN-101-VAN RESTORATION (MORRIS- TYPE JB): December 2014

http://austin-jb-van.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). While the weather has been not too warm for painting in the past few weeks I decided to have a go at making a passenger seat for my van. As my tube bending capabilities are limited to a hand bender I based my design on making a copy of the drivers seat as this has just a single tube bend construction. The original design of passenger seat needed more complex bending. Uses -20 mm box section and 20 mm angle riveted to position and finally welded.

AUSTIN-101-VAN RESTORATION (MORRIS- TYPE JB): June 2014

http://austin-jb-van.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

RESTORATION OF AN AUSTIN 101 VAN FROM 1960 (MORRIS TYPE JB). June 2014- Floor Frame. Just had a go at making a floor frame! I say 'just' but it has taken me several hours! Probably put in more runners and cross spars than would have been fitted originally but all seems to fitting at the moment. For the main frame I used half lap joints, glued and screwed plus cross spars secured by brackets and screws plus glue. Finished the whole frame with a couple of coats of exterior satin varnish.
