Would this have the effect of bumping up the value ?
Red book and others, say they base there values on what the market is offering.:twisted:
Chassis is original, can't see that it's been galvanised....Anyway, mine is going to look like that one day soon and I didn't spent $25,000!!!! :DQuote:

As others have said, restorations are almost always money losing exercises.
I am quite happy throwing rediculous amounts of money at my cars because it is a hobby I am passionate about, and they give me great enjoyment (and will do for years after they are completed) I have no intentions of selling, and no illusions that if I do I will lose bucket loads of money.
I have spent thousands of dollars doing a ground up on Gus, and I haven't even been fussed with using exactly correct parts! If I sold him I would easily lose 60%+ of what I have put into him. :eek:
I guess the only answer is to keep him then. :D
Famous last words. Keep your calculator handy - it will add up over time.Quote:
