But, I considered the asking price to be way too much. Well, it's true that
good things sometimes come to those who wait. Due to time, and various other
circumstances, I will now be getting this car. Altho it's pretty complete, I
have decided that it's too far gone to salvage. I'll be keeping the engine
and related bits, and I may consider the front brakes & diff for possible
projects, but almost everything else is up for sale.
Yes! Now I've got me one, and a few possibilities of what I'm gonna do with
it. It's got the SU's and runs quite nicely.
If anyone is interested in anything from wheels to interior, let me know what
bits you need, and what they're worth to you. I won't be keeping the remains
around for long, so if you think you might want something, let me know now.
All offers considered, including trades for things like 3500 engine
compatible manual tranny's (TR7 5 speed, or GM ???), and various BMC
components, or ???
