Worth having a few people scope it out. You may well find the total cost exceeds your comfort levels by quite a bit.

Good luck mate, yes it must be scary entrusting your coupe to some stranger, giving them heaps of money and hope they do the right thing.

There are some professions people trust implicitly, piano tuning comes to mind. Others we are perennially skeptical about.
A resto is not unlike a renovation, for reliable progress and outcome you should have full specs, milestones, payment arrangements and good record-keeping. |
