Speaking of themes...
=20
That BJ 7 I bought in 1974 was stolen a week after I got it, no =
insurance.3 months later I had moved and was getting ready to go look at =
an MGB for sale when I thought I would give the Boston police one more =
call. They said they were glad to hear from me because they found the =
car a month ago, but because I had moved they had no way to get ahold of =
me. So I took a bus and hitched a ride out to Groton Massachusetts where =
I found it sitting at a gas station. Funny thing was, it was also full =
of camping equipment, that wasn't there when it got stolen. Everything =
was in the car my tools, nick-nacks, the only thing that was damaged was =
the trunk lock and the ignition. I guess they would just turn the =
battery off to stop it, then turn it on to start it up.

What is this a running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s. =
Started restoring. Moved several times. When I retrieved it from a =
rental garage (four years ago after having stored it five years) the =
interior had been stolen. It was in separate boxes waiting for me to =
finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door cards or interior =
trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took the steam =
out of me finishing the car.=20
I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get =
it done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and =
enjoying a different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something =
nephew has the skill to finish it. He is not yet shown interest in =
something like that, he's more into mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes =
change.
Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all =
have to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is =
a lot more fun to most people than restoring a car.

What I was going to say was how similar your story is to mine. I bought =
a BJ 7 in 1974, never really fully restored it as I wanted to, and =
neither of my son's wanted it. So I ended up selling it for what I could =

Anyway, what part of New Hampshire are you in? I'm on the Seacoast.
