okay, hitting a road block! The Misses ain't to keen on the whole "spending money" idea regarding the Healey. I say, "20k (more or less)to restore a car to make it worth 40k or more is a good investment". she says "if you're not ever going to sell it, whats does it matter what the worth is"?
My better half isn't pro "spending money" for anything that she doesn't understand or share an interest in; car or otherwise! So how can i get her to accept/get comfortable with this healey endevor?
I had a guy with 20 plus years of LBC restorations say it'll take about 30K to get a concourse quality resto out of my rusty hunk-u-pooh! (thats with him doing all the work)Im okay with that, i doubt it'll decrease in value as the years go by, but you should have seen the look on my wifes face when she heard that number... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif
so, i need good info/advice/suggestions from those who have been there!
Thanks
Tim
