as mentioned earlier i'll say now what it was (and yes again i'm only nit picking and it would have been something I would have done if it were me) but seeing as the bonnet chrome now stays down and the amazing fab work that these guys seem capable of you would think they would have made it now 1 piece (blinker/eyebrow bonnet bar alltogeather)
sorry I didn't take any pics but being QUITE hungover and 2 hours sleep I wasn't in any frame of mind to do it, it is a beautiful car but there were some ridiculous numbers being bantered around on what it actually cost :shock: but I spose they're only rumour and only a few people actually know what was spent

actually had Paul Bennet say he would love to get his hands on my Austin van ................ hmmmm wonder if some deal could be struck 8) 8) 8)

I can appreciate the work that's gone into it , and I am sure it looks better in the flesh so to speak but I am not a fan of big diameter rims on older cars , sorry kiid61 :shh:

yeah i'm not a huge fan these looked ok to me because they had dish, hate big diameter with no dish also these were probly the limit in diameter for me they probly were still just a little to big though
was reading stuff about the car good to hear they follow my train of thought it was bought brand new in 1961 by the now owners mother so essentially 1 owner or atleast 1 familly 8) :twisted: :lol:
