I was hoping you were still working on it. Get yourself some BIG signs
saying F**K OFF and display them in all directions! Maybe that will
help you preserve your masterpiece (but I doubt it).

Nice looking car. I used to have a '69 2000, from about 1977 to about
1989. Gave it away when I moved from New England
to Arizona. I've been hankering after another one for a few years now,
but can't bring myself to actually buy one off eBay,
especially at today's prices. Good luck with getting it to 100% -- I'm
jealous.

That's one big job. How you your resist not customizing it as you put it
back together?

One point of curiosity -- did you investigate just getting another one
that wasn't quite so thoroughly mushed? I could see good reasons for
doing what you did, not excluding a personal attachment to that car, but
I kept wondering whether the car that donated those rear panels wasn't in
better shape than the one you were working on...

Could't do that. Just finishing up on a spasm of getting all the Cox
planes I had as a kid. Picked up 6 engines, a Stuka, Corsair and
X-Wing Fighter, all NIB. Have a Ziroli 1/5 Corsair in the works; a
Transall C160, FW190 and F6F ARFs in the box just waiting for
attention.

Excellent work. Some of your backs don't take you back to acc2.html .

Is auto body your line of work or are you a guy that just loves doing this sort of thing
for fun?

Wes

Glad you are okay of course... but just wanted to point out that a friend
of mine has one of those up here in NJ and I had never heard of them before
seeing his...

Neat little car and I hope you and the car come out of the fix better than
before!

I used to race against a 1600 cc SR311 in 1970 - 71, in my 1275 cc MG Midget
Mk III. I think the SR311 was class F Production then, IIRC; I was in F and
G at different times, but we were both in F when I raced against one
(actually, two; one in CT and one in MI). But the MG was close in
performance. The one in CT was actually from the North Jersey SCCA, and I
ran against it once at Old Bridge Speedway, in a high-speed solo series,
too.

One of my neighbors has a Datsun SRL311 (the "L" is for left-hand drive)
that's been in mid-restoration now for around 22 years. g The old wive's
tail is that the Datsun was a mechanical copy of an MGB, because Nissan's
founder was an Anglophile and Nissan had built cars under license from
Austin or Morris. But it isn't really a copy. The Datsun series actually
came out before the MGB, although the original engine design owed a lot to
the Austin/Morris engines.
