MAKING A LIST...CHECKING IT TWICE

What else would you call it on Christmas Eve. I spent a few hours today compiling a list of parts that will obviously need to be replaced. Although most chrome parts can be replaced cheaper than they can be replated, the cars originality can best be preserved by using as many of the original parts as possible. Tim and I will discuss this when we meet in early January.
The more I inspect this car, the more excited I become. Even the trunk floor and the fuel tank are in remarkable condition...something you just do not find in a British car this old. With no reference to the color at all, this car is truly a rose among thorns. Just wait, you'll see.

Later,
TD
