[Roadsters] FS: Roadster Steel Wheels & Update on our 67

[Graeme Suckling]

That's FANTASTIC to hear!
I am pleased you and your daughter are working on the car together.
My eldest daughter showed ZERO interest in any of my car projects UNTIL 
she mentioned to her High School mates that Dad had a Datsun P510.
Then it was, "Dad, can I drive your car to school to show everyone?"
I not so politely declined the offer>:o
Being involved in the restoration/build will more than likely pay 
dividends when she goes out driving.

Regards,
Graeme Suckling
