For my Graduation Project I learned about the changes in automobiles from the 1950's to present day. For my product I chose to restore a 1951 Singer AB. This is an extremely rare car which has been stored in a friend's garage for more than 10 years & should be a very exciting project. The First phase was just inspection & seeing what all needed to be done. Though it may be hard to believe for being 57 years old this car was in amazing condition. It only ever had 2 different owners & was always kept in a garage when not being used so fortunately no body work will need to be done! After inspection Mr. Greg & I made a list of things which must be done to get this car on the road again:
1) Replace electrical wires (Have corroded & split over years)
2) The paint is in good condition & no rust but a coat or 2 of clear gloss paint for added protection won't hurt
3) Tires!!All 4 of the tires are useless so we'll have to look in to getting some new ones
4) A rear seat [Gotta make room for friends;-)]
5) The most important part of actually getting the car running - the engine. We're going to take it out & rip it apart. Last time it was running we're told it didn't stop by choice so something needs fixing. Hopefully it won't be much but if needed we may do an engine swap.
Though before any of this can be done I've got to set to work at cleaning up someone else's house & making room for us to get around.
