TR2/3/3A General Restoration Question.

I will also add I did not keep track of my hours, but it took me about two and a half years to re-do everything on the car, with a full time job, working evenings and weekends, rust repair and paint prep taking the majority of the time. The other thing I spent a lot of time doing was cleaning and painting small assemblies, like the wiper motor, air cleaners, etc. etc. Clean sand prime paint, etc. etc. etc.

In doing the car I decided I enjoy tinkering or running restorations more than taking a car all apart and doing everything, gets to be too much like a second job with little immediate reward, your mileage and feelings about the matter may vary.
