1968 Austin America
Any one remember this car.
It's supposed to look like this...
This car is not even that old, 1968. When I got this car it was a driver. On the road regularly. I started the restoration/updating about a year ago. My goal is to make it road worthy for any time use. That means a modern engine and transmission and updating the brakes to modern disc brakes. I'm not a auto mechanic but I've got enough savvy and outside resources to get the job done. I anticipate it's going to take me at least a couple more years to finish. Vintage cars take serious resources, financially and time to dedicate to them. I can't imagine what a car 40's or 50's vintage would take to run on a daily basis. If you've got the itch thou, it is irresistible.
