With all this talk of selling, I have been faced with the dilemma of
funding my BN2 restoration. It is going to cost upwards of $30,000 to
do correctly to 100M specifications. At the same time I am looking to
buy a new larger home with a larger garage, of course. I need to find
some money somewhere and selling my award winning Bugeye would certainly
provide a large portion of the funds. My wife would go into siezure if
I told her I needed that kind of money right now while we are house
hunting. I have been toying with this idea just as Gerard is finishing
up a 1275 for me. As Peter says, I will be looking for another Bugeye
to install this motor and a Datsun 5 speed in as soon as the BN2 is
finished. I took the Bugeye for a drive last night after fixing the
dashpot plunger that came apart in the rear SU carb. It was a lot of
fun. It took me several years to restore this car and I have met many
wonderful and generous folks at meets and on this list. I don't think
I'll be able to say the same thing during the BN2 restoration.
