Hi All,
First post, be kind.
I have just become the owner of a 1958 Porsche 356A coupe RHD, and I may sell it.
I bought the car without knowing too much about it, admittedly I did view it but at the time I didn't actually expect to buy it so I didn't really pay enough attention.
I have restored several cars in the past, including some Porsche 911's, but I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this car.
It's in "project" condition and appears more or less complete, seems to have original engine, box, seats, most glass, trims, steering wheel, gauges, lights, bumpers, controls, lots of replacement panels, sills and such like, spare engine also.
I'm after some general advice, namely:
- Who would you recommend taking on the restoration? (I've already decided I'm not doing it).
- Is it worth it? Roughly how much would a full rebuild/resto cost?
- What's it worth roughly as it stands?
- Worth after?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
