Well for the most part everything went as planned. We replaced the interior leaving as much of the original car as possible. After that we took the engine out & tore it apart. We replaced several minor things (Oil lines, spark plugs, solenoid, battery) & then sent the engine off to be re-bored at the machine shop. In the mean time I sanded 2 small rust spots on the right side of the body. They really didn't need to be done but I had about a week of staring at the Singer with nothing to do & figured what the hay?

There are 2 things left which need to be done & one depends upon the other. I still need to apply the layer of gloss to the car to give it backs it's youth; however, it isn't recommended that you do this in a small, poorly ventilated space, so I need to get it outside before I can do so & we are indeed still waiting to find some sufficient tires. The best deal we can get so far is 150$ a tire (more than I paid for my Jeep tires) & then shipping & handling costs from England to NC! We're looking in to finding some motorcycle tires that are very similar to the Singer tires & trying to use them instead. I think (hope) it will work & before long I can be getting 35 MPG & learning to drive on the right side of a car=D
