I've done a few LBC restorations over the years and have enjoyed the process and resulting driving experiences. After a time have sold them all and usually made a little to compensate for my time (.10 per hour). My next project was to be a early 70's Spitfire and am having second thoughts. I have a vision of exactly what I want to end up with. The problem is $$$ . After looking over the latest catalogs it seems that my project will cost 8 to 10 K depending on how good the beginning car is. This will result in a car with an actual value of 5 or 6 thou. Is any one else in this predicament? How many of you are plowing big bucks into an old crock with no prospects of even breaking even? Is it a love or a sickness? I haven't decided if I'm going to follow through or not, probably can be swayed by the responses here. Thanks for letting me rant. Bob
