John,
Please help me justify my frustrations with my project car and drive
the morgan. It really depends on your intentions as working on the car. If
a perfect restoration is the end of means in and of itself then go for the
Senior, however, if the restoration is just a means towards the end of
driving such a beautiful car, then you are hurting yourself by not enjoying
the car as it was originally intended. When you go to bed at night do you
dream of winning the seniors or of driving the beautiful car around on
sundays? My intention is to restore my Bricklin so I can then drive it into
the ground. That doesn't make much sense I guess, but for me the "ends" is
driving the bricklin after the "means" of restoring it.
Good luck with Ieither though, and congratulations on your victory!
I also have a buddy that is interested in a two seater roadster (probably
british) with the rounded front end (unlike the tr7 tr8?) I was wondering
what car you would recommend that is the least expensive, and or the least
expensive to repair, and or the least likely to break down. My friend
doesn't have the stamina to work on a car for two years before reaping the
benefits. Any suggestions? He is currently looking at some early 80's MG,
How about the aerly graduates? Just looking for suggestions
