Hi All,
A friend is looking for a project TR4. However I have been encouraging him to go ahead and buy a nicely restored car. I think he'd rather pay for it gradually, i.e. to buy the car, later rebuild the engine, and so on. But my guess, and what I've told him, is that it costs more to restore a car, even a fairly decent one, than buying one already restored.
Here is an example project: Triumph TR4 project
I have been out of the loop with restoration costs for a long time, so I don't know what engine rebuilds, body repair, chrome work, etc. costs these days.
What do you think the total cost would be to restore this TR4 to a correct original standard?
Thanks!
