Its been a while since i put a picture on this forum. I bought this A35 back in april off a fellow member on here and it has taken nearly 5 months of work to get it on the road. Mind i must say as i am disabled i can only work on it for the odd couple of hours a day or when its possible to get motavated. As always with any restoration it was my plan to get it mot`d then see what else is requried then use it as a ongoing restro. Here are a few pictures to start with. bought as seen         As the front wings are bolted on i had to take them off as i new there was a hole in the sill extension.As well as the rust along the top edge of the wing and bonnet surround panel.   |

I know how you feel as I am disabled as well so it has taken me 18 months to restore my Jago Jeep / Willys MB replica. I followed an A35 van today local to me.

the interior before and after   The back seat is still to do also the rear side trim panels  Then its onto the front suspension and brakes  Waiting on new bushes  Although it had new wheel cylinders fitted they were all siezed solid and took a lot of heat and a good pump with a grease gun to free pistons awaiting newseals  New seals fitted and new pipes awaiting fitment  Theres no way this rear frame cylinder could be saved trying to get the bleed nipple out smashed the body   New one awaiting fitment  |
