Hi from the UK.

Hi from the UK, I’m Tim.

I live just north of Bedford, England. Been looking in on the HAMB for a while now and find myself looking in more and more, so I thought I'd take the plunge and make it official.

Currently building a 1955 Sit Up 'n' Beg Ford Popular (Anglia) original "I" Beam on a 4 bar set-up converted to Volvo Hubs, Disks with 4 pot Callipers. At the rear is a Volvo 244 GLT axle on a 4 bar set-up. Power comes from a Rover SDi 3500cc V8 (Baby Buick) with a 5 speed manual box. Steels on the front and Alloys on the back.
I'm working outside, got no garage so progress is very weather dependant.

Build up thread, 7 years worth, is on the UK NSRA Forum if anyone’s interested... http://www.nsra.org.uk/newforum/showthread.php?t=19068

That’s me about done. Thanks for your time.

Crap......

 

Hello from Minnesota.

 

Hey, you put your pedals and steering wheel on the wrong side of the car! ;-)

I just came into possession of a 1985 Rover 3.5 V8 for my '29 Ford sedan, so I may be consulting with you occasionally. Seems it's the British equivalent of our small block Chevy - a jillion of them made and they get swapped into everything over there.

 

The Rover is the old Buick 215 more or less. Great motor, they get put in a LOT of cars back home

 

I dont understand why you say the steeringwheel is on the wrong side.
I have allways belived that you got the steeringwheel on the right side.

 

Welcome, I enjoyed looking at your car thread!

 

As A32Flathead says they're everywhere over here.

Yeah, nice one.

Thanks for the welcome and for taking the time to look at it.

Cheers. Tim W.
