Hello all
Need some advice please. Found a complete 1968, 124 sport that needs a total from the ground up restoration. Owner said:
A. Its a 1968 Fiat 124 Sport.
B. Its complete and no parts are missing.
C. It ran before it was parked 15 yrs ago.
D. He has the title.
I want to buy it to restore it as a gift for my wife who absolutely loves 124s.
I have no mechanical skills what so ever but, I do have the space to break it down so that it can be piece milled to the appropriate people. The owner said he could possibly sell it for a few hunderd dollars.
Is this a possible project considering, parts availability, cost of labor and time involved? I am asking b/c one really big red flag on this project is that the owner is quite young and owns a garage that actually restores vintage cars.
Tnx again in advance
Vito
