My vote, Jeff? Just drive it -- as long as it's safe and looks good enough
that you still turn around and look at it when you've parked it and are
walking away. It's SO easy to get sucked into trying to turn the car into a
picture of perfection. Ask yourself why you bought the car. Did you buy it
because you looked forward to all the repairs and restoration it would
require (that's one legitimate reason to buy a Triumph)? Or did you buy it
to enjoy the driving?

I've been concentrating most of my efforts on the interior lately and I'm
very pleased with the results thus far. Unfortunately, my pride of
ownership is somewhat marred by rust bubbles emerging from the paint in
almost every outside panel except the top of the hood bonnet, doors and
sills. >>
