Hi...I'm new here to the forum, and wanted to introduce myself...my name is Ray, I'm 55 and married, and retired from Forestry... I live in Colorado Springs, CO....I have always had a healthy interest in British cars, and I've recently bought a complete and 50% running 1965 MKll Triumph Spitfire, that I'm in the process of 'getting up to parr' so-to-speak within the spare spot in the garage. I've had a couple of mgb's in the past, and have always been tinkering on some old car build, mostly 1950's hotrods...but, I absolutely love the style and design of the Spitfire, and the availabilty of parts! Both my wife and I, want to work on this particular project together, and I wanted something we could share the process with, and she could eventually drive around town which gives her some fun and style. I will do the hard stuff, and she wants to learn to do some bodywork, etc (her first effort)...which will be interesting:rolleye:....I very much like the 'round-tail' Spitfires, and the classic design of the past! Anyways....as with British mechanicals, I will seek help from time to time from the members here, and tell you in advance how appreciative I am to the support of the Forum here....the car will take a bit of time, but both my wife and I look forward to the project together...our little bit of keeping the British Car heritage alive and on the road....thankyou!----I think I'm doing this 'introduction' correctly:peaceful:....Ray
 
Ray - welcome to BCF. You sound like a lucky guy, with a wife wanting to get involved. Especially in bodywork!

By the way, take your time. There are many of us who've been members here for years - and still have "a complete and 50% running" British car. :D

1965 Spitfire - great choice!

Thanks for the welcome Tom....I really am fortunate my wife is willing to get dirty out in the garage....there is lots of 'small' stuff she can do with the Triumph, and it makes her feel she is participating in the project...the car is complete, and running, but has some issues mechanically, but little rust, which is nice...I think she will appreciate the little car more if she can 'help' with the restoration process....I'm glad for the help to be honest:chuncky:...again, thanks for the nice welcome----Ray
