Howdy all, from the great state of Texas.
Been a long time lurker, and have been helped several times on this site with problems. Actually, I've had an account, but recently when I logged in the 'annoying sign' came up, so here I am introducing myself (and my cars).
I retired three years ago from a mechanical engineering position, and hope to be able to find time to REALLY start getting my 'stable' in order.
I am very fortunate to be married to a lady that lets me collect/(re)store about as many cars as I can find room for. My current stable includes:
'56 AH-100 (good running and cosmetic condition; 283 Chevy transplant many years ago done very nicely)
'58 MGA Coupe (restored recently both mechanically and cosmetically, but has an oil pressure problem that will probably be my first project)
'59 AH 100/6 BN6 (body/paint complete, rest needs completion)
'65 Sunbeam Tiger (needing full restoration)
'65 XKE Coupe (mechanicals and exterior restored ~15 years ago, then let sit; needs recommissioning and interior)
'65 Mustang Coupe (decent overall condition, inherited from my dad 12 years ago)
'73 VW Thing ('Beach' car; good overall condition but reverse is severely compromised)
'01 Porsche Boxster S (grocery getter)
I know they all aren't British, but at least the majority of them are!
I'm sure I'll be conversing with some of you in the near future.
Phil
