Here is my first project ever and i definately think I have bitten off more than I can chew! She is a 1957 2 door Austin A35 that is meant to be black with red interior.
As you can see she is a mess , the paint has rubbed off of the top half from a tarpaulin rubbing against it, the doors, bonnet, boot, basically all the top half is sound and the bottom needs a lot of work, the engine is fine in fact she had 6 months mot when i got her which has just run out......but i don't know how she had an mot to be honest! I know i'm mad but i'm going to have a real good go at restoring her, i'm a total novice at welding and only have a very basic knowledge of mechanics but how hard can it be eh? I'm going to need a lot of help if it is going to happen, the bits that are good are easy to find and the bits that are bad are rare or very expensive so i'm going to have a go at fabricating as much as possible and hunting the web for the rest!
Wish me luck!!!!
