Hi everyone,
Just thought I would register to see what I have got myself into. I had a moment of temporary insanity and purchased two Austin 1800, one utility and one sedan. I wanted a utility and these came as a pair. The ute has been stripped down to the bare body but on wheels, the sedan is complete but rough. I have all the parts to re-assemble the ute including the choice of two engine/gearboxes, one an auto the other manual. The ute is not rusty at all which is really good, the sedan is really just a parts car as it is quite rusty.
I also have a Lotus Elan of about the same year which I have been restoring for the past few years, this should be finished within the next month or two, once I have the Lotus out of the way I will start on the land crab.
