Progress on the Roadster

I was hoping you were still working on it. Get yourself some BIG signs saying F**K OFF and display them in all directions! Maybe that will help you preserve your masterpiece (but I doubt it). Gerry :-)} London, Canada

WOW, JR !!!!

I get the distinct impression you've served some time in a ___Good__ repair shop!!

Nicely done!!

Will be fun to see the finished product.

Looks like it's going to be a nice ride. Karl

Nice looking car. I used to have a '69 2000, from about 1977 to about

Matt

You gave up on those nice model airplanes for THAT?

That's one big job. How you your resist not customizing it as you put it back together?

One point of curiosity -- did you investigate just getting another one that wasn't quite so thoroughly mushed? I could see good reasons for doing what you did, not excluding a personal attachment to that car, but I kept wondering whether the car that donated those rear panels wasn't in better shape than the one you were working on...

If there ever was a labor of love, this is it! Nice work!

Excellent work. Some of your backs don't take you back to acc2.html .

Is auto body your line of work or are you a guy that just loves doing this sort of thing for fun?

Wes

Glad you are okay of course... but just wanted to point out that a friend of mine has one of those up here in NJ and I had never heard of them before seeing his...

Neat little car and I hope you and the car come out of the fix better than before!

I used to race against a 1600 cc SR311 in 1970 - 71, in my 1275 cc MG Midget Mk III. I think the SR311 was class F Production then, IIRC; I was in F and G at different times, but we were both in F when I raced against one (actually, two; one in CT and one in MI). But the MG was close in performance. The one in CT was actually from the North Jersey SCCA, and I ran against it once at Old Bridge Speedway, in a high-speed solo series, too.

One of my neighbors has a Datsun SRL311 (the "L" is for left-hand drive) that's been in mid-restoration now for around 22 years. The old wive's tail is that the Datsun was a mechanical copy of an MGB, because Nissan's founder was an Anglophile and Nissan had built cars under license from Austin or Morris. But it isn't really a copy. The Datsun series actually came out before the MGB, although the original engine design owed a lot to the Austin/Morris engines.
