Hi All,
As you see from my earlier post today I've had yet another nasty surprise with the HG. Dirty old cow...
Anyway, I live in Adelaide and I was wondering if there is somewhere I could take my car to have it thorougly inspected?
My goal is to find out now all the things that are likely to fail so I can know wether it is worth persisting with the restoration. I dont want to repair my current problems for $1000's, only to find I then have to fix a whole lot more afterwards, and some things like beams rusting out from the inside I just can't spot myself. I'd guess that rust is going to be my main concern.....
I just need to know wether to continue, or scrap the whole project (as much as I'd hate to do this, I just can't justify spending 20K on a car that, when fully restored will only get 12K-14K back at best).
Regency is obviously right out of the question.
I really appreciate your feedback, thanks everyone....

Welcome to the reality of owning a classic car.
If you're restoring it to make money then it's highly unlikely you'll achieve your goal.
If you're restoring it for your own enjoyment then forget the cost and do it right.
