It looks good, I liked the look of it when i noticed it for sale. Its going to look the part once you get it done. Cant get the true scale of it from the pictures. What size is it, like a close comparison on a known medel.

wheels are 15 inch rims i think (without checkin) rear tyre,s are 295,s
the trailer deck is 15ft,6, by 6ft, the alloy ramps under the front are just over 7ft long ,, the rear body tube is about 3ft 8 or 10 long
that may give you some idea of her size.
she started out as an austin ten sherbourne.

One of those bizarre facts my memory throws out from time to time -I can't remember what I did yesterday, but I remembered a scene from The Who's rock opera Tommy, that featured Tommy's parents in the Blitz -& a wrecked Austin in the background. I thought it was a Ruby, but it's an Austin Ten!
Odd coincidence -the same film featured Elton John & the Who performing the song Pinball Wizard -which was the name of the Ford Pop that hit the show scene the year before the film came out & first sparked my love of custom cars. I now own a Ford Pop & Taz owns one of the old V8 engines from the Wizard.

just thinking about it being said about the car in the film ,, mine has been through the war,/wars, it even has a real bullet hole in the rad grill shell looks like a 303 bullet hole where the old badge used to be ,,it seems a shame that the replacement badge will cover it up ,, |
