I can relate. Sue was after me to get a toy car that was 1) topless and 2)
not a "project" in the sense that the Lotus is.
The TR4 I got in Texas was up to the 1300-mile drive home, so I guess it was
by-definition not a project. Two years now, and I have done very little to
it.
Meanwhile, the Lotus is back together after its halfshaft break, but now it
does not start. I will probably wait until after VTR to go after that.
