Ok I will admit that this is actually
not one of my cars, It was a "Project" that i was
asked to do. The owner of this car allows me to run the 58 Convertible
as a wedding car through his business. Elegant Rides of Driffield
East Yorkshire, He said he had a saloon and wanted to use a
Kit that was for sale by a leading Morris Restoration company
to turn this humble car into a convertible for use in his business.
Starting by welding in the strengthners ( Nothing as substantial
as a Beetle) then cutting off the roof , welding in the windscreen
frame topper and tidying up all the other convertible parts
made that job complete. Problems always arise when you have
to weld in parts and cut other parts out, A respray was required.
This meant that the rear wings(Fenders) showed rot in the inner
area which i had to fix and so on. A 4 week job turned into
3 months but hey presto another convertible. So It now runs
around the countryside in brilliant old english white.
