Well folks, I am now an official Little British Car Owner! I went out to Portland OR this past weekend and brought the car home. It was as the owner had described it. A strong runner, with good body and frame, bad interior. It's pretty complete, has a decent top as well. Needs new floorboards and sill work. The 2 inner and one of the outer sill replacement panels came with the car, as well as various gaskets and such. New interior panels are a must at some point, and it's missing the brace that goes from the dash to the floor--anyone know where to find one?
It's got an overdrive as well (not hooked up, but new wiring was run) which is nice. Hope to have that working in a few weeks. Looks like most of the wiring harness was replaced as well. Shocks are good, and it's got 5 new tires.
I'm quite happy, really. Rather in over my head as well, but I got this to be a learning experience, so I expected that. I can read manuals, and I'm not afraid to ask questions!
Here's a few photos my new friend:

Hopefully it will be road legal in a week or so. Needs a new windshield and wiper arm to pass inspection--my first of many parts purchases I'm sure.
