Thanks for the kinds words, Steve- You're right, those parts I got from =
you went on to the Bugeye- It's great having so many parts now =
available for this 54 year old car!! (not quite as old as me though!!!)
=20
Thanks for the marketing tip too- I never had much faith in EB for =
selling a complete car, although I have bought a lot of parts there.

I can vouch for Patrick's car in some degree. If it has all of the =
parts in it that he has purchased from Ol Phartz Partz, it is a very =

Shipping from the islands will add a fair amount of $$ to the final =

Aloha all- My Bugeye and I will be out for a run to Aloha Stadium in =
Honolulu this Sunday- hopefully we will have a Sunday without rain, as =
I'm not keen on taking it out when it is wet. We're going to a SCCA =
Solo event- I'll be sharing the competition driving chores in a =
supercharged MG Midget with its owner, and the Bugeye will be watching =
from the sidelines.
While I have your ears (eyes), I wanted to ask you folks for your =
recommendations. I'm almost finished with a complete =
restoration/renovation of this '60 Bugeye, it looks original on the =
outside- the body was stripped to bare metal and painted Old English =
White, new body chrome, and completely new interior- red vinyl w/white =
piping (from AH Spares), new top bows, decent vinyl top, and brand new =
side curtains and fittings. I've updated the suspension (the front =
spindles/hubs have PROPERLY set up roller bearings), and MKII brakes on =
all 4 corners. I've replaced the 948 with a "period appearing" freshly =
rebuilt 1275 (w/HS2 SUs on an alloy head), a rib case with new layshaft, =
laygear, and bearings, a 3.9:1 diff with Huffaker rear axles, and five =
Minator 13x5 wheels with new tires. It's clean, strong, looks fresh off =
the assembly line, and is a hoot to drive, with the 1275 giving it a =
rejuvenated snap the 948 lacked. =20
I have too many projects in my job jar, not enough room in my garage, =
and I have to find a new home for it- I would like to ask for your =
individual and collective advice what's the best way to find an =
appreciative new owner? Finding one here in Hawaii is problematic, as =
most of the LBC crowd here are like me: looking to find the neglected =
orphan with potential to be turned into a Princess. Should I try to =
sell it myself on the usual sites, C.L., BAT, E.B., or would it be wiser =
to ship it off to a reputable exotic car house on concession? Any =
thoughts/advice would be appreciated! In the next few days I hope to =
post some of the photos taken during, and after, the renovation, and =
invite you all to have a look.
Happy New Year to you all!
