I've never seen a two-tone one of these, or one done in a 50s custom style, so I look forward to seeing your updates with glee since those are two of my favourite things. This one currently has a two tone paint job as a previous owner painted it in smothright green.Manly it appears to hide the plod in the rear doors.So I had to do a quick paint job withe the white paint to tidy it up a bit when it was still I'm daily use. As you can see its come back to haunt me now.

No no no young Ryan....I'm talking about a run-out from Area 52. If you tried to do this from the Gathering, not only will you fall foul of the 10pm car curfew but will possibly end up with way too many cars wanting to join in. I might run one this coming weekend (i.e. this Friday night) - Hardcore will be down and ColonelK might be too.....could be a laugh. Now that sounds like fun ;D

So I thought it was about time I introduced this little gem. I originally brought it as a present for my wife.That was about 10 years ago, she used it every day to go to work and occasionally I would take it to work (a 60mile round trip) to clear the cobwebs out ;D. One day on a blast to my work place there was suddenly the unmistakable sound of big ends knocking. The little car maneged to make it to where I worked and one of are mechanics had a quick look. It didn't look good,at the time I had now where that I could do any series work to the car with out risking my life (we lived in a village where there's know pavements and the car was parked in the road).So a friend of mine at the time was working for a place that did reconditioned engines. My mate striped the lump and discovered that every part inside was shot.So he decided to start withe a fresh lump,problem was that A30s have a 803cc A-series and there are not many around.He told me the best he could do was to rebuild a 1098cc lump would that be ok O yes ;D Any way not long after getting her back on the road we brought are first house ,and after a small problem withe Austin it was put in to the garage and left while all are time and money went in to doing up the house. Fast forward to now and 9 years siting in a damp garage has not done her any favors.And I think that's a enough of me waffling lets have some pics. Told you it hasn't seen the road for a while. Damp+Austin=not good news Air cooled brakes. Lets strip. Someone's idea of an invisible repair. The rear floor is ok but the front needs replacing luckily I have two new panel's to go in. That looks better. This is my first attempt at welding, I think I need a bit moor practice. Could be worse. Feel the power. Wheres it gone. There it is. More welding. Retro art? And that's as far as iv got with it for the moment.The plans are to build her in to a 50s style custom, withe pail yellow paint work with a white roof and red banded steel wheels withe white wall tiers.

It must be one hell of a project car to make you even consider selling the Brat. But if its a once in a life time opportunity then go for it mate. And if you sale the Brat to some one on here then you have the chance to buy it back.

Years ago me and the lads used to meet up on the prom between boscombe & bournemouth pier.We used to get a good turnout of MK1 & MK2 Escorts as well as Capri's,Opel mantas. But after a whirl to many idiots started hanging around in the area, and a friend of mine was seriously injured when a speeding car t-boned his car in the drivers side.He was left with a smashed pelvis and a broken arm,and after that the prom was closed in the evenings. But that was a thew years ago now and it would be good to get something organised as there's not a lot happening in this part of the world (Salisbury) and Bournemouth is only 40 mins away.

I picked this up a while but have not really made a lot of use of it. So it only seems fair that it gos to some one who really needs it. It works fine and powers most things in my workshop. Anyway I'm asking £50 for it if interested give me a shout. I am located at Salisbury in Wiltshire. Thanks for looking Ian. ;D
