So here we are my nov 1949 chassis, i know it is not 100% correct but its bloody close considering i started with a bare frame, and the fact that im not a vintage buff. please ignore the rear drums they still need changing to cables.Pic 1

pic 8 im affraid this is the last pic i took as the camera batteries died, but you get the idea buy now.

I know it may not look much, but i feel ive achieved a lot to get to this stage, i cant wait to get stuck into the body work now 😃
hope the chassis is a clean as you expect, id like to think it is anyway!

Good work you have been busy since you got the car. You doing Camberg?

How the hell you find the time to run two business ventures and do all that work i don't know.
But congrats Lee.
Keep at it.

I dont stop, havnt had a weekend off since christmas (except for stanford hall). Also when shes watching her soaps in doors, its very easy to slip away into the workshop with out being noticed for a few hours!! :wink:

I' ve just sandblasted my wings, for 57 year old wings i cant believe the quality of them, no rust at all!! just a few surface dents which i can pick back up with the hammer. they had been drystored for the last 16 years or so i was told!

heres the chassis again as i purchased it just before christmas i think (oh and the Mk1 before i restored it, ive seen a 1950 landrover in Lavenham just begging to be restored, when will i learn?) ((you may also notice ive made the driveway even bigger and changed colour, as now the Aston has its new paint (its gone back from blue to its original red 😃 ) it would be a shame to scratch it), can take about 10 cars now!!so there no stoping me))  10178.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.
