For Sale in Seattle Area: Minor Convertible Project

I am looking for a good home for my unfinished Morris Minor 1000 
Convertible Project.  Health issues and an impending move requires 
that I part with this automobile.  It is not a hopeless basketcase 
but a very unique classic, nearing the final steps to completion.  I 
have already spent most of the money needed and have stockpiled more 
parts and components that I have time to list.  I have always kept 
this automobile in a dry garage. I have already  removed the tired, old engine 
and replaced it with a brand new, never started, 85 horsepower Datsun 1400 cc 
engine with all new ancillary parts, i.e., water pump, carb, fuel pump, 
distributer, etc.  This engine is backed up with an installed Datsun 
5 speed transmissiion. This car started out as a 1960 2-door saloon.  I 
purchased the "convertible kit" from the Morris Minor Centre in England which 
includes everything to make the car into a convertible. There is even a slide 
presentation on CDROM that will "walk" a person through every step of the 
conversion process.  I have not chopped the roof off as of yet due to 
unfinished frame strengthing that has been 75% completed.  About 8 more hours 
of work to complete this phase.  The brakes have been professionally upgraded 
to stock MGA disk brakes. I have all the old rims and hubcaps but included are 
some very sharp, never installed, British MiniLite alloy wheels.  I have new 
custom fit carpets ready to install, new chrome front and rear 
bumpers, new grille and boxes of other new restoration items to numerous to 
list. Included is a second, totally complete 1959 Morris 1000 that may even 
start and run if coaxed enough.  It is included as a parts resource.  There is 
also a pickup truck load of more spare engine and body parts.  I have good 
titles for the two Morris's and a third title that goes with the pickup load of 
parts. This car would be a great find for a talented auto body person although 
not outside the skills of most mechanically inclined individuals. Also included 
are books and manuals relating to this car. I am asking $2000 firm for 
everything including many, many things not mentioned in this ad. I have 
personally invested well over the $2K price over the years I have owned this 
car and have left very little for the new owner to have to buy.  I am 
advertising on this forum as I hope to sell this car to a good home and regret 
that I am 
unable to personally see it through completion.  Possible delivery 
in the Northwest.
