Hi all

Hi all, my names Nathan from Tamworth, Australia. Im a long time car nut but have mostly worked on Holden and Chrysler vehicles. Over the last year my old man and I have dragged home three british cars: a 1960 standard vanguard ute, a series 2 land rover and most recently I acquired a 1952 austin a40 coupe ute. I'm attempting to upload a few photos but my iPhone is not cooperating so I will hopefully be able to put some up soon haha. Last year I also fixed up a mate's 1963 hillman minx. I look forward to exploring the forum more (when my phone stops being a jerk haha).
My dad and I have a fairly big car collection now, most of which are unfinished projects, but we attempt to do everything ourselves. Our non british cars include an fx, an fj, a hr and hq Holden, a 1947 and 1948 chev, a 1951 and a 1952 dodge kingsway, a 1963 valiant ap5, a 1976 valiant charger, a1976 ford f250 aaaand a 1975 Datsun 120y...I think that's the lot haha.
 
Welcome Nate,
That is quite the collection. You definitely have more storage than most of us.

You found a great resource here for your LBC's, so be sure to introduce yourself to each of the proper pages here on the forum, and be ready for lots of help help whenever you ask.

Enjoy the ride!
 
Welcome Nate! I had an A40 Devon ages ago. Sounds like you have a great collection of cars!
 
Hello, and welcome to you and your Dad!
 
Thanks guys. I finally managed to upload a couple of photos! Not many, mind you, but a few is better progress than nine haha.
