If you want to know if I rescue cars, or strip them.
Here is my latest rescue, I've lost the photo of the car when it came to me. They are on the old forum, as the bits of red body in the back of my van. Maybe someone can rescue those pictures for this thread.
I can't clain to have done all the work myself, as I don't have the time.
But this car came to me HALF complete, with its original paperwork for 1930. And an IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR AN ULSTER REP. I bought it seriously cheap and could have made a massive profit selling the parts seperate to Ulster builders.
please note earlier in this thread, were I say sellers of these unrestored recks need to sell them for less. If they want the new owner to build them as original cars. (Maybe there needs to be legal paperwork made up, giving restrictions on what the can be rebuilt as).
Because this pile of bits cost me £700. The decision was a lot easier to restore. Than profiting from more Ulster reps. The total rebuild when we finish fitting the uphaulstry is around £12,000
As I say cars usually cost more to rebuild than they are worth.
But once finished, and in my museum, there is no reson for it to be anthing else.

And don't geet ME wrong here, I'm not against Ulster reps. I've had them, I have another to build in the barn.
But my point is if cars are going to be broken for Ulsters, let it be the seriously rotten. That have a very small chance of ever being restored at all.
Also for you people in larger country's than the UK, you may have more room to DRY store your old treasures. In the UK with all the new building works, most of these cars in poor condition are now stored outside, and if they are not built into something, anything now. They will only rot down to chassis anyway.
