2 Wheels or Blind folded!!
Close one...
Went to work today as i normally do in the Austin 7 Ulster, great sun shinny day for the 2nd of Oct. Just left the bakery and having a bit of fun got to the roundabout no one coming and around i went and slid the rear end out, but nightmare started as the rear wheels got caught in a rut and up she went on to two wheels. Now every thing went in slow motion at this point, as the car hung on the balance point on two wheels. I've never shifted my weight so quickly to get the car back on 4 wheels. A couple of workies saw it happen and a round of applose was given when I stopped to check the spokes were all OK..

The Old Lady...Update
And still more to repair, a few pic's of what still has to be done.
Straightening out the chassis legs, welding the rear spring section and sorting out a bit of a botch job someone had done to the rear engine mounting hole.

Here's a wee update, lots of cleaning painting and repairing. The first pic is of the repaired shocker mounting bracket.
