<div>Well, since we're sharing 'baby pictures,' here's one of the BN2
my dad found in the local newspaper's classifieds. He got a
pretty good deal on it.</div>

<div>I am beginning to understand what a restorer
friend of mine once told me. He said he could restore three
BJ8 cars in the time it took to do a 100. Virtually no
parts I have bought from the usual suspects for my BN2 are
easy to install. Nothing fits like it was made for the
car. This morning I made an attempt to bolt up the two bump
stop boxes over the rear axle. None of the holes in the
part lined up with the holes in the body above the rear
axle. I will have to auger out at least three of the holes
in the bump stop box to get all four bolts in. This car is
fighting me every step of the way. I guess it's like my
restorer friend who has since passed told me when he sold me
that rolling frame with a few body panels on it, "Go ahead
buy the car, it will give you a reason to live". I am
beginning to understand what he meant. Half the time I am
pulling my hair out and inventing new curse words, but I go
out to that garage everyday and try to accomplish something
on the car, even if I end up beating my head against the
wall, I keep coming back. Rant over.
