Post by: symes on 23 August 2015, 22:44:25
After getting Connie years ago and starting work on it--I left it covered up and forgotten until 6 months ago-I painted it black with metal-flake and did lace roof -Did all interior too-as said all done by me with help of my bro and friends with final assemhly 8)-last Friday took it for MOT and passed with no advisories at all  :y :y :y

Blimey, you can't even buy a full tank of juice for £38 these days, if only it were that cheap.

Might be able to soon at the rate it is coming down!

Nice job. 40 Years ago, I bought an Austin Big Seven but it rusted away faster than I could fix it. I often wonder if it ever got back on the road.

I don't think fuel is coming down anymore, just a bigger gap between deso and petty.
