Your call. I always try to have two manuals on hand; one will always makes
sense.

Get a Bentley brand manual if they wrote one that covers your car.

Thanks! Do you think it's safe to purchase an MG1100 manual for use in
repairing the Austin America? I know they're very close to being the same
thing.

Hi all,

I'm new to the group, but thanks to Kevin Valentine, he's graciously added
me to the list. I'm the girlfriend of his nephew, Ben, who was kind enough
to get me a 1968 Austin America for Christmas.

We've started taking things apart and it seems to be "ok". I'm new at car
restoration and this one is unique in itself. I was wondering if anyone
could help with where to start with the suspension. What to look for to see
if it still works, etc?

Also, where would a safe place to start be for the transmission/engine,
since they share oil?

Kindest regards, Brenda
(an enthusiastic newbie)
