You can say that again, got quote worked out about 3 times the final value of the car...

Thats why my Datsun had to go! Bought it in from England, kept it for 3 years and then sold it back to the guy I bought it from. Got the same that I paid for it £4000. U couldn't buy a hen house of a 240z for that now.

Would love a GT Corolla rwd again but I'm too old for it now!

Restoration jobs cost a fortune, better selling it on as u did! Restorations can run into 1000's, often far far more than car is worth.

They can be but I would take my time plus with the Internet if you do your homework there is loads of sites that sell the parts
at affordable prices and look at the end of the project look at the satisfaction you get I wouldn't put a price on that.

I agree with you about the satisfaction would have to be a labour of love, and with punting as a hobby couldn't afford both, LOL

I haven't the hands on me to do that work. And worse, I havent the patience which isn't a good thing in restoration work!!
But yeah, if you can do the work the satisfaction must be great!

In fairness it's easy for me to say I have the skills and patience so that helps a lot finically .
