Good luck, makes me even more grateful (and slightly guilty) that someone else had done all the hard work when I got mine. Still, I've just bought a 55 Thunderbird in a similar state to yours, so I've got some "fun" to come!

You simply *have* to get that camera working Anji as we would love to see the pics. Some of us are badly in need of some sunshine up this way (UK) It's always nice to see BSA's being restored in other parts of the world.

Anji,
If your's will not be the best looking A10 in all of India, I REALLY want to see the other.
So, is that a '37 Ford in the background of one photo?

Hi Richard
Thanks for your kind words. Were certainly trying to keep it as authentic as possible & no effort spared.!!
in the restoration. Its been a mammoth task considering what we started with, but loads of fun. ( which is why we all get involved in such acts of insanity ).
Yes that is a 1937 Ford. Belongs to a friend of mine. I too own a 1919 T Ford but minus the wooden artillery wheels as these were eaten away by white ants when I got her in 1969. She runs on 1927 ( ? ) spoke wheels till I can lay my hands on the genuine stuff.Attaching a photo at a rally in 1972. Iam the guy with the beard with my wife & daughters
Will post some more photos of the Flash later today after mounting the engine in the frame
By the way, did you get my mail with our tour details sent quite some time back ?
Take care
Anji

Anji,
Yes, I did get the tour details and reviewed it, drooled over it, dreamed of it, but, alas, I am unable to conceive a way to join it. Looking forward to further pictures of your A10 project and happy to follow classic Ford rebuild stories, as well. Maybe you have another website where you share that story, though, I don't see too much problem with A10 owners sharing their other interests in this forum. (Maybe our administrator has thoughts on that.)
Regards,
Richard L.

Posting some photos of the last few days work. Finally managed to machine the abutment washer behind the clutch & hope to have the clutch on tomorrow
Am enjoying the project along with my son, Asheesh who features in a couple of the snaps.The plugs in the head are DUMMY to keep uninvited guests out of the cylinders ?? Please note the mosquito repellant coil. The mossies were threatning to pick us up & fly away !!!!
Take care & ride safe
