Hi - Ive not been around for a while - been a bit busy with the day job and parenting...
Anyhow, Ive got myself a new car and need some advice on a restoration problem. And before you think "What is this post doing here - we not a motor vehicle forum :? "
Well my new car is a 1967 Morris Minor Traveller and the problems areb with the wood frame.
Problem no 1 - I need to cut out about 12" length of the waist rail and scarf in some new timber (Ash) -
I need to make a precise angled cut though the waist rail at about 30 degrees and remove the rotten piece then make a replacemnet piece and glue (Cascamite) in place. I am not confident of doing this accurately with a handsaw, any suggestions to jigs / methods etc to do this?.
And if you think this bit of wood is rotten - you should see the back doors :shock:
Many thanks, MMD.
