It has taken many hours to get it right and lots of years learning how to spray .As you said someone is going to get a nice car .The insurance quotes along with road tax ,just doesn`t make it worth keeping for the amount I would use it .Ive never kept a car once finished as I used the money to buy another project ,except for the " BENTLEY " COPY " I built I had my fun out of that . .However due to age and health problems its a different reason to keep it .I would still like to find a non too difficult project ,if I can convince my wife its physio therapy Back to using the electric polisher and Faracla Len

Hello I dont know yet ,what to do .I cant take on another full resto .I`m 86 and having treatment for cancer and other things .However Id like to have something to do .Im helping someone to restore an Austin 7 as he doesnt know somethings I do and was helping someone else on a Rover P2 but as we finished it he died suddenly .So Im advertising it for someone .One of the main problems is that due to my age ,the insurance has gone up to over £400 ,that with the road tax makes it uneconomical to put the TF on the road ,or any other car I do.
