Then I bought two parts cars in Langley from a friend of my<br>brothers. Then I bought my current car a 1949 Rover 4 light, which is a hot<br>rod if I ever get it finished. I have had a 350 Chevy engine rebuilt and an<br>automatic transmission for it but I don't have a steering wheel in it or<br>much else to finish it. My best friend Ron had always said he would help me<br>finish it but sadly he passed away in 2013.<br><br>I sold my 1948 6 light to my brothers friend, the same person who had sold<br>me the parts cars as I thought he could do a better job restoring it. So it<br>moved to Victoria, B.C.. I also prefer an automatic so the one I own is a<br>better fit.<br><br>I owned a 1978 Chevy 5 Ton scrap truck for a number of years and loved<br>working for myself. I was the single mom of 2 children, so I could take<br>them with me, instead of worry about a babysitter. I enjoyed moving old<br>cars on the weekends and even took a couple to trips to Oregon, loaded both<br>ways with old cars. Met a lot of old car people along the way. Sadly the<br>old truck reached the point that it needed more work than I could afford to<br>fix so that was that. By then I had also bought a 1955 Chevy scrap truck<br>which I used as a yard truck and I'd buy a day permit on moving day. I sold<br>it though at the last house as I was down to the one car, though I have a<br>lot of body parts for the Rovers from the war years. I felt bad as the<br>truck just sat in the yard unused for years.<br><br>I live in Abbotsford, B.C. on Veddar Mountain in the neighbourhood of the<br>B.C. Electric Railroad Station. My long time partner and I have 10 acres on<br>the side of the mountain. My children are 34 and 39 and my son the younger<br>one, is married with 2 children. His first child is 17 years old and I<br>raised her but he is now married with a 2 year old son.<br><br>If anyone has any interest in checking it out. There is a big antique store<br>having a going out of business sale, as they are retiring out here on the<br>Sumas Prairie. Lots of old metal up for sale if your into tractors, tools,<br>etc.etc. 'Granny & Grampa's Antique's. Check it out on line at<br>prodaniukauctions.com You won't see this many items in a museum. The<br>auction is set for Sept 8,9,10.<br><br>Well, that's about it. Glad to be back on the Rovernet.<br>Zellie.<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://rovernet.org/pipermail/rovernet_rovernet.org/attachments/20170819/9b7efa61/attachment.html><br>_______________________________________________<br>Rovernet mailing list<br>Rovernet@rovernet.org<br>http://rovernet.org/mailman/listinfo/rovernet_rovernet.org<br></body></html>
