That is of course if the middle is not closer to one end than the other - like a tennis net thats higher at one side of the court than the other
(usually the side im trying to hit over)!
whats restored anyway - if u buy the car as a rat - then restoring it could be making it what it was when u bought it! that would take no time at all
- unless u wanted to baremetal respray it before restoring it to how it was when u bought it ( i.e. in rat form) this could take years - particularly
if your piece of string had 3 ends or even worse was joined to itself - then it would be near on impossible! Ill bet some louiser has something to
say about this post being a waste of time and having no expertise !!
Id prefer to do a resto like dasdubbers - that thread only took me an hour of so to read and i was thoroughly satisfied by it - gave me an
overwhelming sense of achievement (his achievement, but my sense of it!)!! now thats priceless!!

My Resto has just passed 8 years - the floor pan is finished (just some finishing touches to do) but the body has only just been loaded onto the
trailer to go and be bead blasted .... so I reckon about another 8 years! :duh

how many times are you going to change your mind on what you want?
I have thought about : German Look, Cal Look, Resto Cal and the list goes on.
It has been 7years and it is no where near anything that i had imagined.
But it is mine and i like it.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

you say you have everything ready to go, i say theres two questions & two answers
question 1-are you doing it all yourself
question 2-are you getting prof restorers to do it
answer to 1-depends on how much time you can put in on a weekly basis
answer to 2-depends on how fat your wallet is

Took 4 of us 3 months to reassemble my mates EH for the Nats a few years ago. That was every night for at least 3 hours. Vee dub should be easier as
it is less complicated than a supercharged chev powered EH.

barls, look at it this way. count to six...
one,two three, four, five, six.
quite simple really isnt it? what is the middle number between one and six? everybody says three correct? naturally, because half of 6 is three and
three time one is three (wow, so primary school did help me!)
but look at it this way, lets count again...
one, two, THREE, four, five, six.
notice that the number three is capitalised, as most would say it is the middle number, however, look again, and notice that on the left hand side of
the number three, there are only two other numbers, whilsty on the right there are three...
theorectically, the middle of a piece of string can be further away from one end to the other.
...i now apologise to all that have wasted their time reading this.

Well it's true what ever time you frame you set, triple it.
Whatever budget you set, double it!
