Austin Loadstar 1950 - 1952

My next project.

In 2021 my grandson, Kyan (then 14) said let's get some petrol (gas), a battery and crank the old girl up. After driving her around my block he told me we were going to restore her. Well, a journey then started where we worked together for the big day when she was back on the road again. Unfortunately, our journey came to an abrupt end on 28th October 2022 when he suffered a fatal ruptured brain aneurysm whilst at school. We had achieved so much together that I promised that I would fulfil his dream and finish the journey. The running gear is finished, tray finished waiting to go on, body panels painted and the cab nearly ready to paint. It has been nearly 19 months without him with me but I'm sure he's keeping an eye on me. I'll post some photos of the progress in the next few days.
