Joe is dead. Long live Albert!

Post by **Peetee** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 8:14 pm

Joe is barely dismantled yet and my affections have moved on.

Ladies and gentlemen. May I introduce Albert.

Structurally restored and kept in a barn for many years, he's the Minor I always promised myself. Right year, right colour and (probably) the right model. (saloon? convertible? I couldn't decide.

)
Sure there is a bit of work to do there but he's a totally sound car that will eliminate, for a few years, the one job I can't do. Weld!

Ah. That's a secret.

Hands off. You've got enough already.

It probably goes without saying that Albert won't be there for a little while. I just hope I get him ready before summer! Theres a fair old list of work to be done including replacing the entire braking system.

Apart from the obvious ommissions, is the car complete? It looks it.

is the car complete

Yep, sure is. An in great shape...

No welding required

You lucky ****. Did you even have to search for a car like that, or did you find it by luck? If by luck, I am the most envious person on this site. Been looking for something like that for a while... Just can't find it.
