1950 Standard Vanguard project-Australia

[ozmon]

Well my project has taken a little longer than I expected to get started with, mainly due to a lack of funds but my new job should give that a boost.To date I have just done some basic cleaning,stripped the engine for removal and started removing the drum brakes.I have a new master cylinder and wheel cylinders on the way.The engine in the car is a four cylinder wet-sleeve four and with the number 3 cylinder full of water its a bit umm seized.To help me with the engine and spare parts problem I just bought a 1952 Standard Vanguard phase2, not very good condition,engine runs and it has a heater which is hard to find.For $300 buy-it-now on Ebay I convinced myself I have room in the shed .After I strip it of the parts I want I sure I could sell the rolling chassis and shell for $150.For those on RRR who have not seen my 1950 phase1 its the first set of photos.The 1952 phase2 "parts car" is the second set.

Cool project.I like the truck thats in the backround.It would make a cool hot rod with that short wheelbase.

Good deal finding a parts car for cheap. Time to get started.
