Default Morris C8

Hi everybody just new to this forum, I have restored two Austin Champs and recently sold one. I now have "Fugly" 1944 Morris C8 GS 2283033 which I purchased in Inverell NSW, I reside in Hervey Bay QLD. Grateful for any information anyone can give me on this vehicle and I hope to post some pictures as I get used to the system.

Hi Paul,
Welcome to MLU, you are a real glutton for punishment...
Better post some pics of the Morris though.
Good to hear from you again.
Rich.

Great to hear from you Paul, hope you got a decent price for your Champ.

I thought restoring a Humber was tough. Am looking forward to some pics of your new restoration project.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hello Richard and yes I will get some pictures done this week I hope, I sold the champ for $13,500 which on reflection was too cheap as it was a good resto. Just got Fugly in the shed and started to re-do the tray as the rest is in good order and nothing to demanding to do,keep you guys posted

Hello Paul, Humber is going fine just waiting on tyres and the warmer months to start painting again. Your pictures did not come out at least for me, you may have to try again. Are you in Tassie next year? A long way for you to travel but well worth it. If you are we will see you then and we can share restoration stories and a bit of that nice Tassie Pale Ale.
Dave.
