Thats what tends to happen........
When i returned to "the fold" - what i wanted was a BGT but at the time
i was looking there were no worthwhile ones on the market - but i ran
across my 72 which at that time was a very sad article indeed but i
bought it
since it was cheap (!) and voila! (12 months and mucho dinero...) a parts
car became a driver - and a very nice one too even if i say so myself!
the trouble was - it needed some engine work (still does btw... but runs
just fine.)
so i looked around for a parts car with a strong engine and a "who cares"
body......
Voila! - i found the 69 which was sound in all the right areas INCLUDING
the
body at a very reasonable price - now ive got more dinero into this one
and
its a daily driver (except as now when ive screwed up the timing!)
Oh - I got the BGT in the end - and as any of you who have seen it
lavished
even more money on it and love it as a son!
Now.......I need a parts car........
