What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Stuart Giles]

Thanks for the reply Austin, that's great work and great looking cars there.  Your dad came over to my place and passed his eye over my Ulster Replica/special project some 40 years or so ago, but mine still isn't finished! there has always been some other old car project that seems to have snuck in front until now.

Work today was not on the Ruby, but a flat twin, from France rather than Yorkshire. Checking the day's emails I rather sadly thought I'd look at the auction in Kings Lynn. The unusually bodied tandem seated special, l which has been commented on, fetched £4,000. Will we see it autotesting when we are freed from lockdown? Will the new owner reveal themselves here on the forum?

Hi
I have a 1931 RN that's virtually identical to yours and I'm totally in love with it. I've had mine to pieces over last winter and put most things right but every day is part of a learning curve. I'm amazed at the spares availability. I still can't change gear properly but I'm getting better! 
Enjoy your new ride, you've joined a fabulous site to get help and information.

[Stuart Giles]

Not today, but earlier in the week. Picked up a "new" Ulster body from Rod Yates. It turned out to be quite a comfy fit in the bed of my 1950 Chevrolet pickup.





This car must qualify as the ultimate "bridesmaid" project, some correspondence with JonE reveals that I bought the existing fibreglass body from Chris Gould over 40 years ago.  The car has had two major reworks in that time, and is about to get a third major rework; and it still isn't finished. I have done several other cars over the intervening years, but now it is time to get this one done instead of remaining in its current status as pile of bits gathering dust.

In reply to Stuart Giles above:

It's my garage, looking a bit full at the moment as there is a Morris Minor 1000 undergoing major surgery in there as well, (along with a lot of other "stuff").

Austin, Austin, Austin. A nice garage ruined.
Garages are for cars and tools only.
Sheds are for mowers, bikes and domestic detritus. 
The minute that you bend or break that rule, the slippery slope is downwards.

Build a shed. Apply the rule firmly.

Hi Iv'e done nothing with mine, because I bought it yesterday. It's a 1938 'Ruby' hoping to have it delivered on Tuesday of this week coming, so be back to pre war motoring. Mike

[Mike Costigan]

Graham's car? I'm sure you'll be well pleased with it.

[Steve Jones]

Yes, Graham's car. Hobbo Mike had missed the post about it but once pointed out, he was in there and from his messages he's well pleased and quite excited. After his Big Seven experience, I sincerely hope it's everything he wants it to be. He's already promised to bring it over for me to see once it's delivered and on the road.

I snapped an exhaust stud today trying to put my engine back into my A7. local engineering company chap, took a big intake of breath and said " not sure can be fixed, needs some fangled spark machine to remove" more money lol.
