New member hello & APD rebuild

[`Gordonhbm]

Makes absolute sense. When fitting do you do this with spring pins in place and the suspension an max droop?

Hi you may want to consider that when new your A.P.D. would have been fitted with 19 inch wheels although a lot of owners run on 17s
Great to watch your progress and sharing it with us. I really enjoy mine and have done now for over 30years
I believe that the apd was Austin’s £100 car unless someone on here knows different,

I just checked and, according to RJ Wyatt's book, I think my car would have been £102. The APD the £100 Austin in 1934, but had gone up £2 by 1935! Damned inflation! haha.

I hadn't twigged that my car would have had 19" wheel originally. I had presumed that all 7s were moved to 17s by 1935, given that the APD was the last high frame car in the range? Either way, I've got 5 good (and 2 rough!) wheels here, so I'll stick with the 17s for now.
