[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2990352, member: 8119"] Wise words have been spoken in this thread. The first consideration is to figure out if you really want to restore a car. Disassembling the car, sanding, painting, broken bolts and bloody knuckles, blah blah blah. I thought I wanted to restore cars - until I realized - I just hate working on cars. Back in the mid 90's I had bought a '67 Pontiac Fire-bird convertible with a 400 engine. Bought it cheap because it had an interior fire, so the thing was gutted. After about 20 years of *NOT* working on it - I finally figured out - I'm not a car guy. I gave it to my brother about 4 years ago. He's a car guy. He has the gift and can make it into something. I'd just rather find a good-condition car (not show-car) and enjoy it. But it sounds like you have different motivations. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
