Hi all,
I'm in the process of restoring my Mayfair closer to factory, it's had allot of mods over its 30 years, some done well, some not great. It's a labour of love for me and not all about the money.
However, I just wanted to know, do you guys set a strict budget before starting a restoration? Or do you just plough forward to get your mini where you want it to be?
The reason I ask is that I'm at a tipping point now where the remaining jobs are engine resto and body/paint. Two expensive jobs if done properly. This will likely take my spend over what the car could be worth should I sell it one day.
Is sale price something you guys consider, even if it's unlikely you will sell? Is there a point you reach where you think it's better to cut loose/sell and find a more desirable model or more complete restoration?
Thanks
