“Bumble”
Ok my fiance wants to drive this B next year, so I have some work to do. Not a restoration more a rehabilitaion. Engine now replaced (the original had severe blow-by)and the new one is running. Needs a new l/floor pan, repair small spot in r/floor, sort minor electrical issues, repair dash and fit new dash top, freshen up interior and replace carpet with one I have in stock, freshen up exterior body. fix hood frame and install the used hood I got from a member here. Of course there are a hundred or so smaller jobs to get her lookin' right. I have a myriad of spare parts, the best of which will migrate to this car.
The plan being to make her a reliable safe and very respectable daily driver.
OK that didn't go as planned. Now restored (May 2012)interior and exterior to show condition! Hard to do things in moderation. My wife loves this car, her first and probably last, stick shift.
