Hello, I haven't been on here in a while. I have a 54 TR2 (rhd) that I bought around 8 years ago. The car needs a total restoration. The sheet metal work was started a few years ago but then stopped,

Kind of depends on what you plan to do with the car, IMO. A show-winning "correct" restoration will cost far more than the car is worth. But if you just want to fix it up as something fun to drive (a

There's an interesting video on utube taken at a Haggerty sponsored seminar in Scottsdale about survivor, or unrestored, cars. There is even some guy in the audience that keeps asking questions about
