It was left empty because it wasn’t the key driver for doing it, getting the car back to its former glory was (hence the list), we’d all be out of pocket if not for the love of cars on this forum, if we all drove the same cars it would be pretty mundane. Better than letting it disappear into scrap, could have bought something modern, V8 manual, rear wheel drive and reasonably rare tick tick tickBrave man listing that out, hope the Cost column was left empty!
