Hello John: There is unfortunately no easy answer to this question. People don't restore cars because it makes good financial sense. They do it because they love to work on cars. Or because it's easi

IF you can do most of the work yourself, restoring the "box of bits" is probably cost effective. A 12k to 15k budget is lowish but doable, again if you do most of the labor. The car when finished (i
