dasMajor Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi Folks I will need some help on this restauration project as i do this for the first time. The restauration will take place in phases. This will be phase 1. Disassembly First I removed the Drivers cabin's Canvas. This one realy needs to be repaired or even rebuild. I heard that there are manufacturers who do this. I can send them the canvas if needed for measurement. Has anyone got me the adres of such a person/manufacturer? Or an alternative solution? Can someone provide me with pictures about the inner cabine, dashboard, chairs, ... Can someane provide me with pictures or tips about the engine? This one needs serious repaires as it makes a strange and loud sound (It bangs continuously) We'll have it overhauled. If anyone knows someone with a lot of expirience with Morrice Commercial engines and/or reconditioning engines, please let me know asap. Pictures hints and tips are all welcome. We especialy need pictures about the inner view like the dashboard, seats and the engine compartment. Any information about getting spare parts is welcome. Phase 2 will be the back cabin. The chassis and suspension are in surprisingly good condition. Phase 3 will be the radio equipment. I guess this will be the hardest part ... Can anyone tell me how many antenna poles were fittet on the side? Thanks a lot in advance and euh ... LET'S DO THIS! :tup:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex van de Wetering Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Ouch....that's my model, which I did more than 15 years ago. Not very flattering with those cracked Tamiya tyres:blush::-D Nice project. I think we have seen the Morris on this forum before (?). I can't seem to find the thread at the moment, but there should be some pictures of the inside of "gin palaces" here on HMVF Alex Edited August 6, 2014 by Alex van de Wetering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g8kzom Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 This is the inside of a CS8 WT. The desk is the same as that fitted to the C4 The radio equipment is just one of many types fitted in CS8's and C4's. but may give you some ideas.

guy66 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 hello, is this project still going on , I am a bit curios as I go to collect a wireless morris c4 from France. I am very interested to have a look at your c4 to see how it is put together as the one from France is already well disassembled . Never easy to put something back together if it was done by some wane else !! And to see it is in Flanders makes it more interesting ....
