Adrian,
That's the danger of getting these for free... they become an time, enery
and cash drain. Now you know why the guys wife was smiling as you left with
the car...:-)
I started out to restore ONE bugeye... that car led me to a free MKIV body
shell, and a (not free) vintage racer (needed one to drive while I spent
who knows how long retoring the others). Now my the Bugeye I started with
waits while I complete the MKIV!
