What is this a running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s.
Started restoring. Moved several times. When I retrieved it from a
rental garage (four years ago after having stored it five years) the
interior had been stolen. It was in separate boxes waiting for me to
finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door cards or interior
trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took the steam
out of me finishing the car.
I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get
it done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and
enjoying a different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something
nephew has the skill to finish it. He is not yet shown interest in
something like that, he's more into mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes
change.
Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all
have to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is
a lot more fun to most people than restoring a car.
