Great pics! You have a nice neat workshop there and the Morris looks good, too. 
What's the reason for the doors on the windows? Does the weather get that severe where you live or is it just for extra security?

Nice 800!
I really like the round hoods and round fender look of these older tubeframes.

Michael, two great classics in one photo! I love the green on your Morris Minor saloon; what colour is it? My Morris LCV is painted in Willow Green and is not too different to yours. The 800 is stunning!
Here's a photo of my Morris Van with a Ford 100 (Sorry no Bolens in this shot but will have a line up of all my Bolens with the Morris as the backdrop).
Are you watching the Rugby World Cup?
Cheers Andrew

Cheers folks, its been a while fixing all the niggles and ongoing issues as i think the previous owner was a bit loose on the maintenance on it so its good to actually have it out for a run and not need to fix anything for once. As i get it out more i'm sure a few things will crop up and they will be sort as they come.
The doors are just for security Toolfoole, My shed is a few kays down the road from me and its a pretty quiet area with few people around, Just stops people peering in and seeing the tools/tool cab/Trailer as that sort of thing is often burgled in NZ. Weather is super mild, a thunder/hail storm usually makes the evening news actually!
Im not totally sure on the colorAndrew, It was like that when i bought it , Its a bit darker than yours i think. Its original paint underneath/enginebay/inside boot etc and the OG color is darker still.

Thanks Rick, we sure do have a thriving classic car movement in the UK. Here's a photo of my Ausin Minor Pickup in Teal Blue from last year. All we need here is a bigger GT scene!

Sure is - i work for a removal company so have a endless supply of heavy duty boxes that i open flat on the floor, Makes kneeling a bit softer and when they get too dirty i just lay new one down. Saves cleaning oil and grease off the floor all the time
