Post: Re: DeLoreans wanted for 'For the Love of Cars' TV...

RHD pulled out of a garage for £23K... And I stand no chance of finding a feasible project in the UK for £13K TO £20K... Still, the show cannot be worse than that Channel 5 dreck, quite enjoying it ...

You know, the more I think about the ability to get welding done, vs. bodywork, I may be unreasonably discounting chassis welding. Welding is the main area I see some excellent work done by enthusiast...

I should be clear, I'm not expecting something perfect. I just have to risk-manage what I can and can't do; a project is fine if the price is right and the project bits are within my abilities. OTOH, ...

Post: Re: Delorean Wanted - maybe!

I'd prefer not to import from the US, as it's a lot of risk - a trip to the states to inspect a car is going to take a chunk that may as well be put towards a car already in the UK, after all. I am un...
