LSV 492 First sighting!

So this is my 'new' van...an Austin 101 registered in 1960 as YMJ 702 but now known as LSV 492. Haven't decided whether it is male of female yet! Only time will tell. It's in a pretty sad state or as my wife put  it  " you've spent how much on this load of cr*p!"
Acquired it in May 2011 I hope to document the restoration progress on this Blog. Only just started the Blog (Oct 2011)so I need to back track first..
Here is the first picture in the just arrived state...doesn't look too bad, does it!
Had to raise the garage door by nine inches to get the headroom but that bit went well.
More to follow soon....MGB
