Patiently waiting to see how this one turns out, have a feeling it going to be top notch 71.gif

You think so...you should add some comments at some point.
Almost done. I ordered the bumperettes that you shamed us into. One of the window latches needs replacing, ordered that today.
Fixed the door last night as it had just become a little loose on the hinges.
I need to look for the CD you gave us a while back.

Pity, because it's really looking nice!  Maybe you need a black and white monitor, because there's a lot of grey in the last image. 

A grey-haired guy standing beside a really nice grey van, with white steel wheels, sitting on a black trailer which is situated behind a dark silver GMC, on charcoal grey gravel parking area, with a large grey livestock trailer in the background.

Seriously, though, it looks really straight and clean and I can't wait to see more of it.    4.gif

Looks like he's linking to a G+ profile or some such, and we don't have permissions. I can't see em either.

Interesting, I have had some issue with google photos before, but I thought I had figured it out.
Let me see what I can do.

Let me know if you see anything now. There may be a step I forgot in sharing a google photo.

Yes very nice ride, maybe nicer now?
1964 Morris Mini-Minor Traveller "Ethel" Built May 6, 1964

The car was imported into southern California in 1966 from Switzerland. We purchased the car from Mike Spangler in July of 2004.

The car had a 1098 engine that performed well and other typical upgrades, disc brakes, Mini lights etc.  The car was Renee's "daily driver" for eight years. At that point we decided to do a full "restoration." In February of 2012 we started stripping the car. In March of 2012,  we delivered the car to Nicholas Upton of Boot2Bonnet. In February of 2013, we picked the shell up from Woodland California. We slowly started assembly. In February of 2015, we returned the car to Nick, now at Seven Restoration in Auburn. There were a number of customizations needed to install the fuel-injected MPi engine.

Nick delivered the car to us at Blackhawk last week.

The car now has a Seven Mini Parts engine:

As I said more later now that pics are working
