She had 3 of them when she threw me out 27 years ago. Now she has ONE and it doesn't run.
She has not had a 'ride' in an Austin Healey since she threw me out.
The 'piece' in the pics was bought as a 'parts car' in the 70's.
It has been pushed,shoved and stashed till it got 'junked' 10 years ago at my shop. I was not there, so the guy on the forklift picked it up and set it on the north 40. It broke in half that day, and that is why it is still available for reconstruction.
IF it had sat flat all these years, there would be nothing left of it.
All I care about is the 'skin'. Everything else will be 'new' fabrication.
Whatever is left over will be used on Mike's car.
I will try to resist a strong 'urge' to tow it past the EX's house on the way to the airport, even though it is 8 miles out of the way.
Revenge is a dish best served 'COLD'!!
