Looking at Chummys

[stuartroach]

Hi chaps, 

I've been thinking about Chummy's for some time and thinking of biting the bullet, its there anything specific I should look for when buying one ?

Floor pan rust would be a first place I guess.... then all the usual Austin areas...

I'm guessing there isnt a specific chassis number range as they where produced over the years ... 

many thanks Matt

Corrosion under the doors between the steel floor pan and aluminium body skin, ash frame issues, knackered door frames and door hinge screws that don't tighten, cracks in the body skin coming from the bottom rear corner of the bonnet, lack of chassis extensions on the early cars, rear body skin flange at the bottom where it rivets to the floor pan, floor pan cracks, worn halfshaft keys etc etc

But just get on and buy one, before you get to old to fit in it.....   You know you won't regret it
