The photos are from my collection and the car is now in the hands of my father. I can’t take credit for the whole restoration as a lot of the hard work was carried out by the previous owner.
Some photos of the fabric covering process
And completed
It looks a lovely job Peter.Nice to see the before and after photo's of the car.
ps I have an original unrestored Alum bodied RK if you wish to do another.
I would love to restore an aluminium bodied car. I think that the RK is one of the prettiest of the Austin bodied cars. However, the fabric saloon had to go to make space for this (Mr Jones will know this one well!). However, if I could identify some garaging in the Solihull area…
I am 100% in agreement with the idea of giving freely. Members of this forum have given generously of their time and knowledge and supported the restoration of my cars. Whether or not my permission was sought, I am happy for the photos to appear here.
