Resto cost v's resale price.

It just depends how collectable the car is. If its a 57Chev or a GTHO p3 you would generally get your money back plus some, if its a Camira, then forget it. In saying that, one day there wont be any Camira's left and the odd one might be worth a few $$$$.

I have two really nice EK's, for years they have been going nowhere dollar wise, I keep saying to my wife,"one day they will be worth a bit so we cant sell them". They are only now starting to creep up in value.

We spent so much on our yellow van it would make your hair curl...but we love it and don't care, once we started we were in so deep after soda blasting it was either loose what we had already paid or plough on through it..the fun we have had and the reward from people's comments and the whole restoration and to be able to say we did this together is all that matters...we had a shed find with the red van which is so original with all matching numbers and engine, which won't cost a lot to restore, and the HX ute similar not original motor, but body good so not much to restore compared to the yellow van....swings and roundabouts...if we wait 5 years and sell the red van we envisage that we should nearly come out on top and still own a van and ute...but maybe we won't sell anything....who knows..I must say we did make sure all numbers matched chassis...on all our sandmans
