I know, I am going into this with both eyes wide open. With what I am paying for it though, my time to drag it home, and gas in the jeep to get it, I have not lost anything yet.
My first objective is to get it started since it has not been run in awhile. Once started, I can evaluate it a little better and make a decision on bringing it back, parting it out, or just selling it to someone else. I do agree that sometimes folks put way more money into them then they are worth...........but they are not making anymore of them either. I am sure if I decide not to restore, someone will.

There are a few goodies on it now that would more than pay for my time, including a Nardi steering wheel and the Euro headlights.......did I forget to mention those. I have not gotten in the trunk yet to see what awaits there as the keys have been lost. Anybody know how to pop the trunk without damage or having the car running?
