your car is absolutely stunning.

i eventually want one in as good of a shape as yours and just wanted to do it the easy way and buy one completely restored (graphite grey / red though).

looking forward to continuing flowing your thread.

thanks.
I have always read and been told... buy one already restored. It's always cheaper. The problem is I am way too picky. I always find something I would have done differently. I worked on restoring mine 6 hrs a day, 5 or 6 days a week for 14 months. And I took every switch, every nut and bolt, every item apart and replatted, repaired, and rebuilt it. So yes I did it the hard way with no shortcuts.

But it was a labor of love.

Good luck in your pursuits.

Cheers,

George
