Man, like Decker said... build that 1st pic you posted. Amazing!

Wish you guys lived in my neighborhood. If you need any parts, let me know. If you feel you wanna go a hair lower in front, I have a nice 34 axle. Have a nice 34 rear as well, little better gears then an A. I have some clean inner torque tubes for exaust, all kinds of early style stuff for the look your after. Be happy to sell cheap and ship for a good cause. You guys are killing it! Good luck.

Need more pics!

 

Cheers Dude! we'll be definatly letting you know parts wise as Damien is on the way to starting a project along the same lines as mine just with a T body so that'l be cool

 

cool man, keep up the good work!

 

Looking forward to seeing this one done

 

im gonna massacre that garage today dude and get on with doing that plaque with me pa hahaha

 

which one is you?

 

well im the one with the black hair not allowed near the steering wheel haha the ohter one is mr harley vonmerkin.

 

Holy shit you guys look young!
Why is it, the guys in Europe, where old parts are so hard to find, can do it right. No plastic shit electric fans, no disk brakes, no fucking alternators. No excuses! Good for you! We should all look to these kind of cars as the standard to be held.

 

I heard mention of brake rods, ya keepin' the mechanical brakes? Big nuts! Or bollocks I guess you call them over there. I'll be watching this one, great job so far. Don't forget the skulzzz and spider webzzz!

P.S. Definitely buy the restoration chap many a pint, he really hooked you up!

 

haha they start us young over here but the fact that it is harder to get bits makes it more fun and if your gonna do it i spose you have to do it right big respect to the for-fathers of speed

 

it is a plastic body though! oooopsie!

yeh were young'uns im 17 and damien is 21 the old fucker! haha

yep mechanical brakes the whole shooting match

 

Damn! You have some cool shit.

 

your doing a stirling job team....and the A looks damn fine, don't get hung up on plastic/steel though it's just not worth it....and please don't start the glass v steel debate.....Have PM ed you by the way re your windshield posts!!

 

old fucker you cheeky sod hahaha

 

Update?

 

you got me all excited....

 

Just found this thread. Good going guys, you got the right attitude and the right style.

Take ya time and enjoy the build, but not too long eh!

well ive tore her back down again as that was a mock up now to start getting on with the final product!

 

Great stuff...lovin this build man, esp the banger !!

Rat

 

can i be a hot rodder now i cant be a restorer no more :'(

i kept these over after i carted out the morris minor and i was sitting there thinking of a way to mount them to the rear axle till 12ish last night then it just clicked so i got cracking and ive got this now to get some front shocks

basically all ive used is moggy minor rear shocks and links and the cast ends off a set of spare rear wishbones i had laying around and some wooden blocks to space the shocks out and to stop it flexing the crossmember

 

Harley, I like the mickey mouse carrierbag!Oh the leverarm dampers look great too by the way!

Nick.

 

thats my rubbish bin i'll have ya know

 

And a fine rubbish bin it is too Harley!

Nick.

 

a few of you have probably allready seen it on facebook but this is where im at now

 

the body is back on now, now waiting for the weather to get better so i can go get my new banger, been messing around on photoshop of how i want it to look all done its worked out exactly how i wanted it in my head

 

Harley, If your ''A'' turns out like that then I'd say you've hit the nail on the head!

Nick.

 

Agreed!
