Oh Oh!  And all the time I had you pegged as just a little masochistic. 
(Minor masochistic?)  You're over the edge, now!

You still have a problem with rack, though.  Morris RHD rack = Spridget
LHD!!!!!!!!   Morris LHD rack = Spridget RHD!!!  Go buy a front clip from a
RHD Spridget

Best of luck on the newest family member.  Going to put a turbo on the
Datsun?  Just wondering. <LOL>

Re:     Got a Minor!!

I took yeaterday off and went to look at a '59 Morris Traveller.
Liked it enough to buy it.  I'll be trailering it home on Sunday.  Looks
like the bugeye paint job will be put off for one year while I prepare the
Minor for my wife this winter.  The folks at work kidded me about buying a
woody, but as I pointed out, I'll now have a woody 24/7/365.  Much like
high
school.

1959,  good interior, RHD, Datsun motor w/automatic tranny.  Needs some
replacement wood but already has disc brake conversion.  The best part of
all, he had a torched off front end of a junkyard spridget that has a LHD
steering rack and a tube shock conversion.  He added that into the deal,
which will be good for both cars!   I get the tube shock conversion for the
bugeye and the wife gets the choice of LHD if RHD bothers her.  I guess
this
means the English car virus of my youth has been reactivated and I've got
it
bad.  Oh well, it is a cute little sucker.  (Paul A., its all your fault,
and thanks!)
