Ah memories of the Morris 1000 that I bought 30 years ago, bought my first MIG welder and blew more holes than are in a colander, ended up gas welding all the repair panels, said then never again will I buy a Morris Minor / 1000. The repair panel that I remember, that gave me the most trouble...

Thanks Panky, have printed it off for my folder.

Couple of update pics below, welding almost done, engine re-built, slowly getting there.

Could anyone tell me which end of the brake arm I have pictured below goes into the handbrake lever on the brake shoe, would it be the stepped end or the plain slotted end?? man thanks

The smell of a machine shop, I’m afraid a thing of the past.

On my 1969 PB Ambulance, I needed to drill the door bolts out and bought 5/16" x 24 tpi on the net from Westfield Fasteners, Aylesbury also bought a Taping Set of 5/16" X 24 tpi + a Tapping drill from AVON Engineering Supplies. I don,t know if your van have the same door bolts.

Not a lot been happening of late, had to move ambulance to a new home and set up, it’s not dead and forgotten though, Engine is with an engine rebuilder and rest of welding will be full steam ahead soon.

Bit of progress, not really had much time on it of late, hoping to have a good bash this week and get the other side done

Thanks again, I did Google for the manual but no joy.

Thanks I'll check it out

Hi, any chance anybody has an exploded diagram of front brake for the pb ambulance, trying to see what we are missing brake wise to replace.

Also the new panels have arrived thanks to Martin, the rot has started to be chopped out and panels offered up, not much further than that though as of yet.

It’s staying as an ambulance guys 100%, it’s such a one off vehicle it would be a shame to convert it.. Not had much time at all to do anything lately what with one thing and another, but we have removed engine and cleaned the 50 odd years of grime off it, and started to strip it.

Thanks For replies guys Think we will strip and inspect and go from there Unless a complete tidy runner crops up at right price If one does I Will buy a lottery ticket that week as well

Not sure what way is best way to go yet, wether to rebuild or replace our engine, not even sure the size of it yet tbh, vin plate says 1500cc, log book says 2000cc Ours looks a hell of a state, not sure what the innards will be like once stripped down, but just want to see what the prices and...

Yes it's staying as a ambulance, still got the stretcher in the back as it goes

Thought I'd start a project thread here, will update as we go Arriving at its new home.......

Thanks all, looking forward to getting stuck in

Hi, new member dropping in to say hi, me and my father have purchased a ambulance that we have started to restore, big job, but have a plan and currently putting it into action. Will be on the look out for a list of parts as we go, so fingers crossed we have come to the right place
