The most or second-most important rule on a house reno is don't over-capitalise, so I reckon the same advice has to be considered on a car resto (the other important rule is renovate for the biggest return, so spend money where it counts and in a way that appeals to most buyers). That's why I always encourage people that if you are going to spend good $ start with the best car you can, and with a 308 example. An L31, M41 (or even M21) Valencia HZ is a good start, so you are onto a good thing Gene!
