7/1/10: The fuel level gauge and sending unit did in fact arrive yesterday. Today was a slow day at work so I cut out early and had a chat with Jeff Sloan at British Automotive Specialist about the car. He, as a purist, was not on board with me “bastardizing” the car with a Nissan engine. He did not however have anything to say against the Hot Rod Wires harness. Of course he did not have anything to say for it either but I’m going to take it as not-disapproval. I promised that I would not do any bastardization until he has had a chance to see the car ans assess whether it is worth more to him as a “restorer” or to me as a “renovation” (bastardized toy). He has my number and directions to the shop so hopefully he will come take a look at it soon.
