Rebuilt the front brakes on Nigel today. New shoes, rebuilt the cylinders, replaced the frozen adjusters (won't freeze now used old long bronze ones and never seize on adjusters and threads), repacked the bearing, installed new bearing seals and painted the drums. Found the accelerator cable and pedal parts. I cleaned up and painted the pedal assembly. I plan to bolt the body on tomorrow! Yea!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll try to get good pics tomorrow. Tired now need sleep......

Bought stickers and valve cover gaskets for Sophia, and one of those cute wire baskets that clips over the tunnel in front of the gearshift.  Thinking of painting it to match her....

Took out old windshield, scraped out crud from channels since this seal must have been the original..

Gathered some parts and stuff for Christmas party giveaways...

Getting ready to sit my old back in seat 19d shortly...

Woo hoo.. top down!!    **^bana0 **^bana0

This basket, Heather.  I've seen a few in cars and they look really cute (well, to me they do).   Comes in white, black, or chrome.

I may end up painting mine to match Sophia..
