[Spridgets] FW: 1968 Austin America / MG1100 - Hydrolastic Suspension

[Dean Swanson]

Brenda,

You did not mention if your AA is a manual or automatic and if you want to
keep it original or modify it?

It is always a good idea to drive a newly acquired car a little bit before
tearing it apart to know what is working and what isn't...

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)
