Lovely paint job.
I had set out from the start with a budget in mind.
Paid £1300 for the car.
Bought parts in bulk order where possible to obtain best discounts.
Apart from sand blasting & respray that I couldn't do myself, everything else was my own labour. Lost track on the amount of hours spent.
Total cost to date £7500 give or take a few pounds.
Adrian Flux insurance have agreed a value of £12500 but would be willing to increase this if I were to get any additional professional valuations carried out.
Not the best return on my labour, but not bad for a hobby. Let's face it you don't get paid to watch football, go fishing etc
