Made by the British Motor Corporation ( which included Austin, Morris & MG) in the year before they merged with Leyland ( which included Rover, Triumph & Jaguar) to become British Leyland. One of the major problems was that the marques continued to see each other as rivals every time there was a merger - even though they were part of the same company. This could lead to bad decisions being made eg the Triumph Stag engine could have had a much better Rover engine, but Triumph went for a poorer modification of one of their engines. Sad, because some of the products such as the Morris Minor were fantastic!

i have restored cars in worse conditions to this, but they were not morris minors lots of pieces to edge of sills or rockers you call it. front chassis legs for some reason seem to take on water make sure you have drain holes at bottom, to prevent rust from inside chassi in future. Veg cooking oil inside chassis legs preserves chassis also and is biodegradable, the oil evaporates and condenses to a sticky protection film lasts for more than a decade.

That is a very nice 78 Trans Am you have. I have a numbers matching 1979 Trans Am SE 400 4spd WS6 car, AC,T-tops with black hobnail interior. I pulled the original engine and trans and put them in storage. I then built a Pontiac 455, forged pistons, Edelbrock heads, RPM intake, hydraulic roller cam, Holley 950hp and Dougs Headers. It runs really good. I installed newer style Sanden AC compressor kit and made sure my AC ducts were in the proper locations and tried to seal them up best I could but the AC blows really weak out of the vents. I put a brand new AC/heater blower motor in but that didnt change anything and is still weak. The heater blower motor I purchased was from Autozone and is the same blower motor for all the 2nd gen Trans Am/Firebirds. Does your blower motor move alot of air if so may I ask what brand?
@davebdave12 ай бұрын
That sounds like an awesome TA. I love the SE 4-speed cars. I have the factory blower/evaporator with an aftermarket Compressor. When I bought the car it didn’t blow very well out of the dash vents and the problem was the diverter doors. I added a vacuum accumulator and bought a replacement vacuum manifold on eBay for the dash controller as the original was leaking. I also blocked the crotch vent for the passenger (sorry passenger). That did the trick but now it doesn’t blow in high but I have a new relay that I hope will fix the problem. System is 134 and it blows reasonably cold.

@chriscansdale63894 ай бұрын
The "I don't know what this is" is the clamp for the spare wheel. The wheel should be under the boards in the back, on top of the fuel tank. If you look in the centre of the floor between the fuel tank and the "trunk" opening there's a visible bolt hole. The clamp bolts on there and pushes against the tread of the tyre when the wheel is in place.
@davebdave14 ай бұрын
Thanks! We’ll have to get that back in place when we get it back on the road. I used the spare often but never to swap out a flat. We used to take the Morris off-road and we’d sometimes get a drive wheel buried in the mud. We would then jack it up and lay the spare under a tire to bridge the newly dug hole and be on our way.

Takes me back to the days when our family car was a Morris Minor 1954 with the long gearstick and the small bore 803cc engine. In later years I put a 950cc engine in it. POWER! When it was three months old, it was parked outside our house. It was ANZAC day and a returned soldier, driving and Austin 7, while way over the drinking limit, drove into the front of our brand new Morrie. He withdrew from within the Morrie and drove off. It was repaired but in later life it rusted. But nothing like your Morrie. It looks really in need of some serious metal work. Have fun. And all the best from Australia. Mike in Oz
