My new Austin Champ

[Peter Coomaraswamy]

Hi folks, I just joined the forum and hope to learn and share while restoring my new (to me) Austin Champ! I'm very excited to start but I have a couple of minor restorations in line before I begin. This thing needs allot of wiring, and allot of allot of stuff so I'm not sure where to start. Any advice on a good starting point or any comments at all would be helpful.. I think..

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum!
I have moved your post and started a new thread for you. Photos would be most helpful if you are asking members for advice.
The first 4 or 5 posts in this thread will explain how to post photos to your thread.

Hello and welcome.
I occasionally restore old British motorcycles and can say one of the most important things is to take as many photos as possible before, whilst dismantling and during restoration. Regarding the wiring label everything before disconnecting. I'm guessing but am pretty sure an Austin Champ would have used mostly Joseph Lucas (prince of darkness) components and if you are going to restore to original then Lucas parts are readily available in the UK.
Looking forward to seeing some photos and good luck with your project.

Mark.

Service and parts manuals are good things to have.
There's a lot of info you can glean from them.

Good luck and please post pics
of your progress.........!
