My '42 is Back with me

[meric42]

After about 15 years in the hands of another owner, I have my old '42 Staff Car back in my possession. I bought it first in 1992 as a Hot Rod, then spent the next 4 years restoring back to original with a G-series 6 Cyl. motor. I then sold it about 15 years ago to a military vehicle collector who managed to neglect the regular maintenance of the car. He offered it back to me recently and I was happy to take it back.

After sorting the wiring, refitting the hood properly, fixing the wiper motor, replaced all the perished tires, replacing soft engine mounts and bolted the rear axle back in properly to name a few fixes. I have been able to drive it again. However his 'new' paint job leaves a lot to be desired and the headliner is quite shabby, but all can be fixed given time and money.

I am enjoying the drive and renewing an old friendship in the process
