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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<div dir="auto">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 get about four years
ago and picked up a little Bugeye driver. I still have it and
in some ways enjoying it more than the big Healy.</div>

owned my 1956 100 since April of 1974. I bought it with
the intention of restoring it, but life has gotten in the
way and it is still waiting for my attention. It is with a
heavy heart that I've resigned myself to passing along the
dream. Contact me off-list, subject line BN2, and I'll
give you the details. First detail: it is located in New
Hampshire, USA. The list has first dibs; if it doesn't
sell here, it goes to eBay.<br>
