Ken,
Welcome to the forum. This is a brilliant intro and a great project for you. There are people who love getting stuck into these massive 'labours of love' but I think yours' has that special element that cannot be bought - your history with the car and the memories it has for you. Loved the bit about you in the foot-well. What an opportunity to bring it back to what it was. Great photos and we'll all watch your progress with eager support (even if, as in my limited Morgan knowledge case, that's just to watch and enjoy!)
Cheers.
