show me modd'd austin A30's

One of my favourite showcars is a Austin A30 powered by a 13BT from series 6 RX7 with nearly 500BHP. Has one peice front end, fully detailed undercarriage, classic taxi style interior, suicide doors, mini tubs etc. but at the same time as having all this it doesn't seemm over the top to me at all compared to what it competed against. Haven't got any pics readily available(I will have a look soon) but if you wanna do a search, its license plates are HNDBLT.

The midget diff does go straight in but the Austin halfshafts are very weak and chances are you'd break them ptretty quickly with a 1275 motor. You can get uprated midget ones though. It'd probably be best to swap in a complete Midget axle with brakes which should be fairly easy to come by and acheive.

I think they're 4" aren't they? PaulH is more likely to know.

Minor wheels fit ,also the old riley 1.5 . I have a 1098 "10cc"(2" mains) short engine requiring rebuild if interested . Also have 1098and 948 and 1275 g.boxes .Also have a couple of diffs.Thick(1098) and thin(948) engine back plates with flywheels also.

This is all I can find. To me this is easily the best show car rotor in Australia. Sadly these are very average pics and do it absolutely no justice what so ever.








Last pic is of a door trim
I will try find better pics.

A Spridget is basically an A35 in a short skirt, but with Moggy Minor steering. I don't know if the entire axle is bolt-in interchangeable with later Spridget ones (early Spridget axle isn't as has different mounts), but if you ask in the Spridget sections of this MG forum, they will be able to help as several are also A35 / Minor owners

Wheels are interchangeable - if you see an A35 on Rostyles, they will be Midget ones, - Frogeye steels are also a popular mod

LOL I forgot to wave. I was to busy explaining to my brother what your van is LOL

Yeah the headlights are 37 ford roadstar items frenched in as guessed. I would put an entire spec list up but it would just keep going on so I wont bore you. Basically bodywise though it has custom fibreglass grille, one peice front, 37 ford head lights, pumped wheel arches, custom sideskirts, suicide door conversion, custom bumpers with the lights integrated, retro side mirror just to name the main things. Also has airbag suspension, stainless four link rear, 330mm slotted and vented discs, 9 inch and about a million other little niceties to go with them.
Seth the taxi theme is basically just the airbrushings on either door trim, and the classic cab fare meter which I personally think suit the car perfectly. Sadly there isn't really any way to show how good it really is without being in person. If I can get my scanner working I will get a few pages of one of its magazine features up here. Has much better photos for a start.
