First of all, thanks to those that even mentioned
the S.O.S. fund.... Kinda made me feel like a heel
for even considering selling it.
My reasons to keep (for now):
1) Wife says we should hold out until we know more
about my job hunting efforts.
2) Turns out we are burning my severance at about
half the pace I was expecting. That helps
a lot.
3) A very good friend (thanks, Martin) reminded me
that I have almost owned it half my life...
4) She's the ONLY female (including the wife) that has
smiled at me every time I saw her.
5) I think the kicker, however, was my 20 month old
son. When he and mom got home today (through
the garage) he patted the car on it's fender
and said "Wendy" and giggled. He then picked
up a wrench and acted like he was working on
it. I got a couple of pics of it I thought
I would share:

I can't deny him the opportunity of owning
that car.
So, thanks for the advice (recently and before).
Now, on to the questions.... ;-)
Anybody know an easy way to get the tranny mount bolts
in once you have the engine and tranny in? Other than
putting the car on a lift.......

Crazy assed idea, but no crazier than any of the other SOS
efforts...
I bet we caould each chip in a few shillings, have the list
"buy" the car, and have Rob keep it for us (under the
proviso that it gets finished with our help and is driven
regularly and joyfully).
Just a thought...
