Anyone else out there interested in vintage British car restoration?

I helped my step-dad restore his '76 Triumph TR6 a few years ago. There are a lot of issues I have with British engineering but it was kind of fun, but have no interest in doing that again. Recently, I've been restoring old, early 1970s Kawasaki Triples. I have also restored (to some extent--by no means concourse level restoration) a couple of 60s and 70s muscle cars. I'll post pics here later.

I like classic cars but I do not have the time, patience, or resources to restore classic cars. I do not have any real favorites. It is a labor of love for most and I have two cousins that did restorations for awhile as a hobby.

What is that, an MG B?
My dad had one when I was growing up.
Imports can have some hefty price tags when trying to restore them, but as long as it's not an Aston Martin DB5 or a Land Rover, you can probably get the parts pretty cheap at the auto salvage yards in your area
