Hmmm.....doesn't seem to be much going on here.

Anyway I recently got a 1968 MKII Austin Cooper S clone. Decent shape, barn find, been sitting for 30 years. Not too much rust. Work in progress.

Successfully got it registered in CA, for a small fortune, and blew a CV joint on the way back from DMV. Now I get to rebuild the front end.....

All cleaned up and back on the road.
Front end rebuilt, under body and floor rust fixed. heater rebuilt. Brake lines replaced. Lots of little stuff done, 3-point seat belts installed, even in back seats. 3rd brake light installed. tanks cleaned and sealed. Boot and spare reconditioned.
