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 :D hope the chassis is a clean as you expect, id like to think it is anyway! regards lee [ATTACH]168[/Attach]

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 :D ) it would be a shame to scratch it), can take about 10 cars now!!so there no stoping me)) [ATTACH]161[/Attach]
