Hey Chops, I've had a revelation!
I reckon I could help you scratch your itch. I can put a vehicle in you shed and you can work on restoring it to your hearts content. It will involve cutintg out rust, welding, prep work, painting, dismantling, assembling, trimming, wiring.....
Basically the whole box and dice.
And here's the good bit, it won't cost you a cent. All materials will be supplied by me.
As a bonus, when it's finished, don't feel you have to look for another project. I'll just swap it with another vehicle that requires restoration. I'll keep you occupied long after your retirement.
Oh, you'll be way too busy to explore East Gippsland. It would probably be best for you to move out here. You know the place.

Oh, for the record, I have two cars parked in my garage.

Haha,, it be easier just to ask him how many he actually.
From what I've seen, most are at other peoples places,, and now he wants one at mine
Swaggie
I hate it when people ask me this question. Invariably I miss counting one or two.
I think I have about twenty cars, trucks and trailers. I can't remember if that was before or after I bought the Perentie.

What do you mean "now"?From what I've seen, most are at other peoples places,, and now he wants one at mine
I've been working on you for some time now. I'll eventually wear you down.
Oh, could you increase the height of your garage for me please?
Master
Mick ..... you must be one smooth talker having people parking your vehicles at there places .....must be really good with the ladies any words of wisdom on that front
or should I start a new post
As Double Chevron says price of vehicles can be crazy ....I saw a rusted HR Holden and the owner wanted 7K for it several years back.
It all come back to balance on how much you are prepared to put into something before you over-capatalize on your investment.
If you restore or improve something because you love the car (have the coin to do so) and it becomes your Sunday runner well its dosent matter what it cost as long
as it puts a smile on your face ..... I'd cop a loss and did when I sold it (Molly the V Dub in my case ) when I took rego and insurance into account.
I think a few on this site have up graded their RRC's as the cost to maintain them wern't worth keeping them as prices don't reflect monies spent on them ....except if like me you are lucky enough to have a 2 Door classic.....
I suppose whatever Chops or anyone else decides to do so long as it makes you happy that all that counts.
Mind you this post has been very valuable in pointing out the pro's and cons.
Cheers
