Interior
October 2020
Work carried out to date.
No extra work done to metal floor. See later photos of existing floor condition as bought.
Added underlay underneath what appeared to be nearly new carpets. plus bought a couple of front Morris 1000 rubber mats.
Cleaned rear seat, back and seat, and treated with leather balm. Note: front seats have been recovered quite recently by the look of them. Will look to restore back seat, perhaps further, later.
Removed all door cards, carried out some straightening on them, and examined internal of doors. Some evidence of repairs to nearside doors at the bottom but do not need further work IMO. Found window stop bracket in box of supplied spares and fitted to door missing one. Fitted internal plastic liners to all doors.
Removed passenger glove box liner and lid, straightened liner a bit and refitted. Also bought new glove box liner for drivers side and fitted that.
Removed existing parcel shelf as it was just a 6 inch wide piece of timber screwed to the metal parcel shelf bracket. Decided not to have a parcel shelf as IMO it looks better without.
Fitted new interior drivers mirror head to existing arm.
Removed non functioning switch from dash and covered hole with Morris badge.
Added period tax disc.
Got internal light switch working by extending existing wiring that had not been reconnected when new headlining was fitted.

Floor
Floor condition as bought.
No work needed on inside floors just added carpet underlay. Existing carpets looked almost new.
Seats
Condition as bought but after cleaning up rear seat. Front seats had been recovered. back seats look original. Bought a pair of black Morris 1000 front rubber mats.
Headlining looks new. Had to trim tension wires under dash, both sides and extend electrical wiring a few inches to allow interior light to be connected. It now works fine.
Also tightened sun visor brackets to make visor stay up, out of the way.
Passenger side is original and drivers side is new (white)
New glove box liner needed shortening in depth by about 1.5 inches. Needed to do this to both match the passenger side liner depth and to make the installation easier so as to put less strain on the wiring behind the dash. When cut off this made the shape at the opening smaller than the lid opening. To adjust I slit the right hand side, as fitted, and opened up a gap to restore the size. I was then left with a wedge sized gap. I used some of the liner cut from the front, formed it to shape to cover the gap, using a hair dryer to soften the material to get the correct shape. then glued over the gap. Also had to add the hole for access to the speedo fastening screw. No hole provided at all in supplied item. Liner is held in place by the 4 screws that also hold the doors in place. Just measure the hole positions carefully using the hinges fastened to the door as a guide.
