Hi johnnymack, doesn't seem to be a large amount of activity here. I am fairly recent here too. I have a '72B that I've had for 23 years. I rebuilt the engine in '87 and painted it along with replacing the carpet and repairing the seat upolstery.
This last year I did a more thorough job, new paint, complete interior, new top, new windscreen glass, new visors, new leather seat covers and new foam, and new paint on the removable hard top. Also put a carpet set in the trunk. The engine probably has 100,000 since '87 and still running great. The car has over 300,000.
I had a '68 Sprite that I was repairing collision damage on when I got the "B" but let my son have that when I finished to go to college. I also painted it and had new interior in it.
Have a great day
Bob
