I am really tempted to do just that, I don't want the 80/20 rule to apply.
That is to get 80% through with 20% of the cost.
and then have to spend 80% to finish off the last 20%, all the difficult trim/panels etc..
Is the suspension a straight fit. Do the anti-roll bars mount in the same place?

3.2' are not really very rare here, even cabrio's. They were bought in the thousands by the yuppie boomers. If a really did it right it would cost me more than the car is worth, never mind what I actually bought it for.

Additional tasks
New carpets almost essential
Once it is painted the faded hood will look pretty gash. £££
Wheels need re-furb. £
Suspension needs shot-blast and repaint/powdercoat. £
915 needs overhaul, needs clutch. £££
engine has 170,000 miles - never stripped - possbly had a top end at 130k. No evidence though. ??££
Should I renew the rubber seals, bumper rubber to match paint??££
front and rear lamp assemblies leak, bodies are a bit "damaged", wrong screws uses, glued back together.
several other minor fix-ips needed.

There are countless "garage queens" featured in mags over here. I am sure this car would not be missed.
If I modify the cab the cab a little it will be a bastard....to somebody anyway.
