Love the comment, about not needing any help selling the car. That was over a month and at least one update ago!
Yeah, the demand is overwhelming!
I am SO not touching that thing.....
Not sure what would scare folks off. 65 year old Lever shocks? 48 spoke wire wheels? Positive EARTH? LUCAS - Prince of Darkness? SU carbs? Whitworth tools?
Youth is indeed wasted on young --- back at 20 I'd have been all over this car. (Back then I redid a '59 Mini, '59 and' 60 AH bug eye Sprite and '66 TR Spitfire), And all my son thinks of is Iphones apps and online gaming.
Did you redid it all the way or give up and sell it?
I was 45 years younger back then. Redid them during summer breaks from college while working manual labor jobs during the day. Seems days were longer back then or I had more go-go. Painted them all after doing body work and rust repair. Ha, you can't even find acrylic lacquer paint any longer (EPA/OSHA). Painted under trees and simply buffed out the bugs and dust that settled. Sold all when completed - figure I made $1 an hour when all was said and done.

And so we find that Wolfgang has been caught in a "Quantum Drift" within the Space/Time continuum which has slowed the space around him to a crawl while the rest of the Universe continues at its' normal speed. One week experienced by Wolfgang is a decade for the rest of the us. The 40 hours he expects to invest in completing his car has become several decades for the rest of the Universe.
To Wolfgang, he only got his CMC kit home a few weeks ago, has put some of it together and expects to have it completed "in a few weeks". For the rest of the Universe, those few weeks could well be a few decades.
This might take a lot of popcorn.......
The parts are worth what he's asking. There are a couple problems with a B-motor into a T car though, starting with the fact that it doesn't fit right because the carbs and exhaust are on the same side as the steering shaft (at least in these parts).
He's got two different top frames. Looks like he just cut plywood for the floor...
The real question is whether the wood framing the tub is any good. If not, it's not a project for beginners. You sell the fenders, the door skins, the B parts, the grill shell (an $800 item by itself).
Or, of course, you could pack it into a garage and let it sit for 20 years & leave it to your kids....
