These kind of restorations have to be labors of love. As much as we may love=
our cars they are just not yet worth the kind of cash it takes to do a fram=
e off resto if you are farming it out to shops to do the work. Just ask the=
guy in my neck of the woods trying to unload his TR7 that he paid too much f=
or, put too much into it, and now wants to sell it. The dude is hosed as he i=
s asking more than NADA for it. (And the isn't even finished yet)
