That's lovely. Thanks for sharing it.

My worst worry about dying is my wife selling my stuff for what I told her it cost...

Fantastic. They really can get under your skin. I've had this one nearly 20 years now - it was my first car back in the day...   |

That is glorious - I love that it has been with you for so long. Sadly, my first had heater channels filled with plaster of paris, the heater channels were 'SOLID', but that was the only plus. Still, I went everywhere with that car, learnt how to fix it, and loved being able to change a clutch in an hour, as I eventually found my clutch bearing arm had worn causing premature clutch wear... No photos unfortunately of that one, but I recently got this one back on the road. I am assuming your old car has been cal looked, and all those other trends before setting back to good old 1966 spec.  |

Much like you, I used it as my first car and learnt so much on it. My first engine removal, my first engine swap, my first attempts of welding. Your one looks good, what are the plans for it? I've dug out a couple more pics... one from the eBay listing when I bought it in 2005, and another from approx 2000 (emailed to me by a previous owner!). From eBay...  a few years (and a few owners) before...  |
