sort of right rolla...what you do is buy cars that have had a mass amount spent on them to a show standard but far outwieghs the value of the vehicle and then you buy them cheaper if you can..buying a restorer thats complete will save you money but you still need to restore it to a show standard or extremely tidy standard....its a catch 22...ask anyone that has done a resto and if you get an honest answer you will find there is a lot of dollars spent..
my wb injected van has had 40k spent before i bought it..over 10k was the running gear...i paid more than the running gear value and ive still spent some more again and i had it valued and accepted the value of 25k for insurance so really its worth somewhere up to that 25k insured value..it is for sale at just under that figure negotiable..
