Fasteners, trimbits and the like

Have you found that you're missing some special fasteners for your restoration project? Through some recent discussions with fellow British car enthusiasts these following two sites were given out as good sources for those hard to find bolts and fasteners. Hopefully this will help you find those odd little bits you may be missing!

20th Annual All Britaish and European Car Day Photos

Since I got done relatively early at the show today I managed to filter and upload the photos fairly quickly. It's kinda neat being able to publish photos the day of a car show. It was a beautiful morning with a little chill in the air. I got to see a gorgeous collection of british and european cars (as well as one neat american orphan).

I hopy you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them!

Fuel Injected Austin Healey 3000

A fellow Austin Healey enthusiast recorded this video. He's been completing his restoration while simultaneously integrating some modern improvements. What I particularly liked about his fuel injection set up was that it really accounts for the way the car "should" look. A casual observer might not even notice the fuel injection!

General Update

So there's really nothing of major note for the past couple weeks. I started the door panels on the Jensen Healey and I have the fuel tank restoration kit for the Studebaker, but life, once again, gets in "the way."

I've spent the last two weeks on a major project at work. Lots of hours but the end is in sight. The honey-do and house preparation lists for the forthcoming baby take up more and more time. At least the work is manual labor, and I enjoy that. Tiled a bathroom last weekend, will probably work on house stuff and car stuff this weekend.

That being said, the big winter british car show is happening this Sunday. For local LBC fans, this is a must see... Here are the show details:
