Speaking of themes...
That BJ 7 I bought in 1974 was stolen a week after I got it, no insurance.3
months later I had moved and was getting ready to go look at an MGB for
sale when I thought I would give the Boston police one more call. They said
they were glad to hear from me because they found the car a month ago, but
because I had moved they had no way to get ahold of me. So I took a bus and
hitched a ride out to Groton Massachusetts where I found it sitting at a
gas station. Funny thing was, it was also full of camping equipment, that
wasn't there when it got stolen. Everything was in the car my tools,
nick-nacks, the only thing that was damaged was the trunk lock and the
ignition. I guess they would just turn the battery off to stop it, then
turn it on to start it up.

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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
