Well, I've come to a decision. Sort of. Basically, I haven't got the money
to resuscitate Daffy (via replacement tub, Hurricane body or whatever) any
time soon - and I'm probably talking the next couple of years here. Also,
the garage space is needed while my beautiful workshop is re-built into the
business my wife is starting up (daycare nursery) - if Daffy was running I
would have found her alternative accomadation during the building work, but
that's harder to justify the cost of for a car that doesn't work. And if, in
a couple of years or more, I do have the money to spend on a 'toy' car, it'd
make more sense to buy another Spit, or a different car completely (Stag?),
than to re-build Daffy.
So, she's on Ebay - see:

At the moment she's advertised in the Kit Car section, since I think she'd
make a good donor - plus I'd like to think that she was still around, in
some form or another, rather than just butchered for parts. Silly and
emotional, I know! I've put a reasonable reserve on her, as I'd rather keep
her than sell her for peanuts. If she doesn't meet reserve, I may have
another go, this time putting her in Classic Car Parts.
I always knew that, if I used a Spit as a daily driver, she wouldn't last
indefinitely, but it is still difficult to come to this decision.
