Heading down to Australia within the month.

Will get a blown BBC, T400, lots of billet, shiny paint etc etc

Nah - just kidding. Will be doing nothing to the body except maybe running it highboy, just getting a full mechanical rebuild/upgrade with 40s period brakes and speed parts, maybe dropped axle, reversed springs. ALMOST sold it but glad I didnt.
 
33's and 34's sure are beauties. Thanks for posting your photos. If anyone has a 33 4 door sedan PASS side inside door latch please let me know. I did post in WANTED but perhaps not everyone reads it. Thanks.
 
2 years, many hours,many $ this is where I am at now. After posting this I found out that the pickups are model # 46, sorry old age & CRS.

Here is 'Out-of-Africa', which came as a partial basket-case, and I've had since 06. I collected a few parts, & procrastinated until July of this year. From July through Sept, I put it together, and made it 'road-ready'. First of Oct was the first time it operated on US roads, and it has completed a 600-mile trip. Really runs & drives nice !! I've had my fun, and Now it's ready and 'available' for someone else to either enjoy, or restore.

another one that got away...

Your pictures bring back good memories of Austin in the 70's . It was a great small city then. We lived on Peaceful hill and Newton St. at different times. I still think about the 36 coupe I let get away at an auction about 1973.

Randy, my engine doesn't leak that badly only a few drops, however if you were to lay on that carpet and look up under my car you would see a piece of fabric tie strapped on from the transmission to the oil pan to catch any "potential drips" plus I had the car on the hoist before the event and spent a few hours cleaning the bottom of the car. There was a Model T next to me and they had a tarp on the carpet from the front to the back of the car.
 
Love 33/34's!
