My Bits of Metal

This is what is going to become my A Level art exam piece over the next few weeks. Wasn't sure if I should post this in GD or here? I thought I'd put it in here as some petrol heads might find it more interesting? I don't know...

Just thought I'd share

Neither, that's just the raw material I'm using.

I'm going to make it into a sculpture of some kind.

Easy restoration, a little bit of welding here and there and it will be as good as new.

Found it, and it has potential to fit my art exams theme, so I took it home.

Nope, it's an A35. It's certainly an Austin. It has a 1950s Austin saloon car steering box. Also the plate from which the break hose comes out of is a triangle shape, only the A30, A35, and A40 had this. Most of the body panels are curved and shaped like a 1950s car too. Also the suspension set-up is from an Austin A30/35/40.

It could be an A30, A35, or an A40. But I think it's an A35 judging from what is here. Not that there is much difference.

Janesy B · 9 Mar 2009 at 01:47

So you're not sure really? No offence but that is little more than a load of car shaped junk.

I agree. No I'm not sure. I am fairly sure it is a 1950s Austin though. And it isn't a sports car because it has a saloon steering box. It also has to be one of the small Austins because of the suspension set up and the brake hose plate. That basically leaves the A30/35/40.

Oh and it is supposed to be car shaped junk, as that is what fits the theme for the project
