What does it matter if you replace a fender / door / quarter because of some small holes or some large ones? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] I think you would find that once you cut off the typical replacement sheet metal that its not as bad as it looks. You might have to make a patch panel here or there, but if you enjoy that type of work then it's actually a fun project - and look what you can end up with! It will never be a Day 1 car, but with a replacement block etc... just drive it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Doing this on a daily basis, I love my job, it is quite a large undertaking. If someone brought me this car and bought all the parts them selves, they would still have more in it than you could sell it for. That is where you have the fun of driving your investment out of it. You can't restore this one as an investment. Rare as they are, it just costs a lot of money to make it right.
