They'll think its an absolute hoot :) We did, honest, no threats of inserting the industrial mig system in orifaces were made.

From experience restoring something like this is hard work but really rewarding, Specially if you pay the little extra after to get her paint refinished after. Sure a classic in showroom condition would really stand out. Assuming you arent ever gonna lane it again :) Wish I had the patience and confidence to take on a car, only done boats.

If the chassis is OK, why not go for the kit car option? A 2 seater open top off roader?
