Hello everyone, new member and British car owner from Colorado. I picked my first British car up last week, a 1954 Austin A30 project car for my son and I to work on. It doesn't run at the moment (although the previous owner said that the motor did still turn over), and it needs a lot of love, but it has loads of potential. My entire family is excited to start getting into this project, now that the weather is getting better.
I haven't come across a whole lot of communities or boards dedicated to the straight Austin brand, most of the bigger ones seem to be dedicated to the Austin Healey marque, so I'd love to see if any other members here (especially around Colorado) have an old Austin. I look forward to sharing my project as it progresses, and see what sort of knowledge and insight I can gain from others who've already gone through the project stage, and see what (if any) knowledge and insight I can offer.
Here's a couple of the photos from the Craigslist ad I originally found the car through (I've taken a number of others since picking it up, I just haven't uploaded them yet).
