I had some people express interest in the 1960 Mini project car I have
for sale, but I lost some people's email addresses. I just had the
car returned to my place in Somerville. I don't have pictures yet,
but I wanted to give people a heads-up in case anyone wanted to come
look at it this weekend.
The front end isn't as mashed as I remembered, but the passenger door
is cocked and won't close. It might be possible to push the door
frame back into place, but I haven't gotten a good look at it in the
daylight yet.
You can call me at 617-875-9657 if you can't reach me by email.
