Hi,

This site will grow over the next 2 years as I rebuild my Austin A40 pickup which I purchased from Boonah, Queensland through Ebay about 2 years ago. I had always intended to build a street rod with my son,who lived in Queensland with his mother, as soon as he was able to help. He used to visit me during school holidays at my home in Lake Macquarie NSW and showed a great interest in cars. Unfortunately when he was returning from the fast fours jamboree in September 2006, he was killed in a motor vehicle accident and so I will now build the A40 as a dedication to the memory of Aaron. He owned and drove a Mazda RX7 with a 12a rotary engine and 4 speed gearbox which I purchased after his death and this will be the power plant for the Austin, with a few modifications such as turbocharging etc. Over the past 2 years I have been buying parts to use on the build and intend to make this a one of a kind Austin. I plan to try and update the site about every 2 weeks with as much info as I can about all aspects of the build with photos.
