Hillbillyracing Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What can I say really, it not like I needed other project. But after regretting selling the last Austin 7 I had I couldnt help myself from hitting the buy now on trademe. There is a lot more rust than I first thought but mostly in the floor and some around the front window frame and wheel arches 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hillbillyracing Posted February 25, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2018 Some kinda mock up. I had a dig around the local junk man's yard today and found a few parts Austin 8 front end and diff 4 rims and a grill I think is a Morris 8. Oh anyone on the west coast got a Escort or a Datsun engine? 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbillyracing Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Geez it's taken sometime finding a engine for the old girl.After spend hours on trademe looking for the ideal engine only to be disappointed at the cost of shipping. So I started on Facebook at complete cars and this Nissan Leppard came, hell of a ugly car though but it's a V8 and the same price as the V6 Commodores on offer.. Now I can start the chassis 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
