Depends on how badly shipwright's disease kicks in. I did this on my TR6 and
it took 18 months. Of course since the suspension was coming apart I may as
well fir new bushings, ball joints, clean up everything and repaint, new
bearings, rebuild the brakes, and , and , and... you get the idea. Since I
also
fitted new fenders, doors, and replace a few panels and had the whole thing
repainted it took a bit more than just a frame swap.
So the answer to your question is "How much self discipline do you have?"
Cheers and good luck.
