<VV> What would you do?

[Hugo Miller]

This is a bit like my dilemma - I have four '64 convertibles with 
various permutations of bodyshells / engines / transissions / interiors. 
I am trying to make one good car out of the lot & sell what's left. The 
car with the good bodyshell is the obvious starting point, but the rest 
I haven't decided yet. All of which is no help to you whatever, but at 
least you know you have a fellow sufferer.
You could always put the whole lot on eBay & buy one in good runnng 
order? But where would be the 'fun' in that?
