I am beginning to understand what a restorer friend of mine once told me. H=
e said he could restore three BJ8 cars in the time it took to do a 100. Vir=
tually no parts I have bought from the usual suspects for my BN2 are easy t=
o install. Nothing fits like it was made for the car. This morning I made a=
n attempt to bolt up the two bump stop boxes over the rear axle. None of th=
e holes in the part lined up with the holes in the body above the rear axle=
. I will have to auger out at least three of the holes in the bump stop box=
 to get all four bolts in. This car is fighting me every step of the way. I=
 guess it's like my restorer friend who has since passed told me when he so=
ld me that rolling frame with a few body panels on it, "Go ahead buy the ca=
r, it will give you a reason to live". I am beginning to understand what he=
 meant. Half the time I am pulling my hair out and inventing new curse word=
s, but I go out to that garage everyday and try to accomplish something on =
the car, even if I end up beating my head against the wall, I keep coming b=
ack. Rant over.=20
