I made just a little progress on the restoration of
my '70 B.
<snip>
I have to say; Much of the pleasure I get from
restoration work is from making the old parts work as
new - not from swapping parts from the
Moss/Victoria/TRF catalog.

Ditto, Rick! I was thinking the other day - I intend to have the bodywork and
new paint done on my '65 - but am trying to keep and restore as many of the
original parts as I can. I'm bagging and tagging everything, and once I get the
body sent out, will start sorting out the other stuff. I definitely prefer
parts with a 'patina' on them, and would rather replace a part this is unusable
with a used part if at all possible.
Unfortunately, I''m currently on hiatus from the '65 as I pull the '76's engine
for a potential ring job. I'm sure shipwright's disease will strike me on this
project....................!
