I think many of us have the common problem of "Delusions of Grandure".
I personally have changed the line up of cars awaiting "their turn"
many times. Currently my priority is the 74 BGT becoming a reliable
every dayer. Today and tomorrow it will be receiving new carbs and gas
tank. Other pending projects include: engine rebuilds for Adam's 72 B
and my 76 B and Midget. Then (shortly there after) we'll get to the 58
Austin A95 restoration. This is all speculation of course and if this
Porsche does find it's way into the driveway then I'll have to
reshuffle the deck. My 75 MGB is driven regularly and needs very
little. My 79 B has been deligated to organ donation duties but not
before I had gotten a couple of thousand $$ into body panel
replacement. I'm blessed to have the most understanding wife anyone
could ever have but it took me three trys to get that right. You want
to talk about expensive stuff?
Safety Fast,
