We put the car away for the winter, and the on 18 Dec 2017, I had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve and repair two others. I have been recovering an restoring since.

In late May 2018, my son Allen came over and helped me get Mini Out and ready for a rebuild of the off-side inner CV joint.

On June 18 – exactly 6 months after my surgery – Brad came over and we – mostly he – rebuilt the component and put the car on the ground – thanks.
