It took Me almost 10 years to rebuild My 4/4. Plus a trip to England and Mel Rutter in 1985. About that time Uncle Mel was the only source in the civilized World. In 1994 I bought a +4 and it ran. Took about 6 years to get it ready for MOA III. Still Own it. In about 2005 I started building My +8 Bitsa out of wrecked old/new Morgan Parts from all over the World. Took almost 10 years to get a runner, another 6 years to get it sorted. I also bought about 7 years ago a DHC with Fiat engine and 3 speed automatic. Now it has a Zetec and 5 speed. Lots of work to get it painted, upholstery and rot under control. Still working on that but "Not So Bright DIY Mechanic". Other than the 4/4 I have had Mentors that helped Me a lot including EMOG, MogGroup, and in a small degree Talk Morgan. But I have a nice big garage and workshop near the Waters Edge. Gave Me something to do while Mrs. Button was ill. Now that Mrs. Button is gone, it still keeps me occupied and the "Morgan Owners" could not be more helpful, fun and considerate. That in itself is priceless.
