If you want a minter, hold in there and pay the good money it takes to get a cherished example.

Buying shitters with the hope of spending the difference getting it to a high standard always fails, its one thing after another and i don't give a toss what anyone says, a restored car is never the same as a solid looked after original shell. You can't "remove" rust from a car, once its in you can only get it out by removing the whole panel, and even then you can't weld new panels on to the same standards as a production line and make sure every ince of metal is painted. You chase the rust forever

hang in there you will find the car for you in good time
