Building a replica sports car is a nice project if you have a lot of spare parts to build from, but I think few of us here would break up an original car to do so - most would much prefer to have an original Austin even if it isn't in great shape. The one you have there is easily repairable and will be a delightful vehicle when completed. Also perhaps better suited for driving in India I suggest. If you are determined to have an Ulster replica my advice would be to trade the car you have and collect up the parts to build something from scratch. You can either acquire a bare chassis from a car whose body does not survive, or collect up parts individually. Either way don't under-estimate the amount of work or the expense involved. The suspension has to be lowered, you will need a new aluminium body, and many other parts to be modified or fabricated.
