'Oh Gee...How about someone saved a rusted out hulk of a car from
extinction....and
if it was made an Alger it is a much better car '
I think you and I differ about what a much better car is. As I wrote, I prefer
that an Alpine be restored back to its Alpine origins, and if one's car started
out as Tiger, to bring it back as a Tiger. And, if rationally, the Tiger body
that you're starting with is so far gone from corrosion, you'll just have to
make the decision whether to do the expensive metal work, sell the Tiger for
parts, or sell the Tiger whole to someone who can afford to do the work and
buy another one in better shape that you can afford. This is solely my opinion.
For all of the concern about what people think of folks who built Algers, our
primary objection is to those who aren't up front about what they have, and
you're NOT part of this target group. While some of us wouldn't have made the
choice you did, none the less we're not getting on your case. You and us have
spent too many years in the Tiger/Alpine hobby to let this be a devisive issue.
The admonition I would issue is that as more newbies learn more about Tigers
and Alpines, the TAC teams,, and availability of club members to inspect
prospective
purchases on their behalf, folks selling cars they're not completely honest
about are in for a shock. Seller beware.
