Austin A40

This is another one of my works in progress. Part of the reason the Val ute is on hold. Its a resin body I scored off ebay and the chassis is from the Revell 80's Prostreet Beretta. The injection is from one of the amt/model king altered wheel base cars (63 tempest I think) although I have made the alloy stacks myself (the brass stacks in the third photo were a trial set as at the time I didn't have any aluminium tube). I can't remember where the rims and motor motor came from, they were in my spares box when I started this project.
