What have you done today with your Austin Seven
The photos are quite flattering. My C15 has recieved a fair amount of abuse in its former life. The previous owner was a hunter and it showed. The donor van was similarly battered. I think they call it period patina these days. In essence its a Rat van with a Rat trailer. The trailer has had a fresh coat of anti gravel below the waist line and the closing panel just painted with spray cans. It'll soon weather in through neglect!

It took a while to separate the cab from the load bay. Despite their age the C15s were well put together and in the load bearing parts, double skinned. I wore out a few cobalt drills separating spot welds! If anyone wants to see photos of how I made the drawbar just PM me.
