1956 A30 Moldy old Dough

Just clean the windows , get it MOT ready and leave the rest as it is - forget rat look, abandoned look must be the next big thing!

Plan is:

1 - give it a wash (done)
2 - clear out all stuff inside (not done)
3 - clear out garden shed so i can get 2 above done
4 - sort out the holes in the floor and anywhere else that come to light (as they do, you'll see the pictures)
5 - get brakes working so i can actually move it without fear of not being able to stop it
6 - get engine running
7 - have a cuppa tea or a beer or both - probably repeat this step at intervals as appropriate
8 - sort out the wiring that looks like a fire waiting to happen
9 - anything else to get an MOT on it and take it out on the road where it should be (suspension and steering spring to mind)
10 - might wash it again

that'll be 18 months i recon given the weekends available. Looks good though. Great Christmas present to self I'd say.

I like this optimism.

if only the smell of the mould could be shared on the internet.

I love it,well done for saving it,I remember a forum somewhere with a guy running a turbo engine in one that looks bog standard but has loads of mods and is a real wolf in sheeps clothing.....its light blue if anyone knows it? (its my age they say memory is first to go....or was it ability to pick things off the floor without making that AAARGGHHH!! sound ;D )

That looks familiar!! Good luck with that little beast.
I could show you some good ways of strengthening the shell if you plan to uprate it, that I have done on mine. Let me know if you need any info

Deffienietly agree about the club, have helped me out and plenty of people on the forum that know alot of stuff, whether original details or how to modify one.

And the Turbo'ed A35 is owned by Dave Clark/Tadge44, has a 1275cc engine and quite alot more power than a standard A35.
