Advice

  • My advice is try to find a car that has none to minimal rust. Body repair is very expensive. Buy a car that is complete, with small exceptions. Original parts for the more exotic cars are becoming very expensive and hard to find. Documentation is important. Lastly do your homework about the prospect car as to what it may cost to restore or make it to your satisfaction. Do as much as you can yourself and enjoy.
