I think old Landies are a bit like a homemade motor scooter. My brother made three motor scooters (pretty good too, although I won't tell him that) a few years ago, and thought he would be able to sell them for a few hundred each.
No-one cares these days if someone puts time into something, and people over-value what their time means to someone (whoever wants a car), I think.
Like more than a few times I have seen 'what's my fully sick modded hilux worth' threads on the 4wdAction Hilux Forums. Then they state how much money and time they put into it, thinking it will be worth bloody heaps, even though all it is, is another crappy old toyota ute with some big tyres, spotlights a bull's horns tramp-stamp on the back window.
I would love a good Series 2a, but would not pay that much for one even if I had the money.
Just my thoughts.......
