I have a box that has around 4 sets of hubcaps so thats not a problem. I don't plan to sell anything or really jump into anything until I get a good understanding of what I need and what needs to be done and like I said everything needs to be done right when its complete.

I've been there and done that. Thirty years ago a friend gave me a '58 Carrera coupe that was much worse than your Speedster. He didn't know it was a Carrera. I wanted it because it had a good front clip. I traded it to a guy who said he was in love with it and "really, really,
really wanted an old 356 to fix up" and couldn't afford anything better blah, blah... I traded to him in exchange for a supposedly good front clip a friend of his had. I got the car cheap and thought I should pass the good vibes on to a fellow 356 enthusiast. I even delivered the car half way to Chicago. A few weeks later a POS front clip, beat all the heck, arrived via motor freight. By that time the new 356 enthusiast owner of the car had sold it for $10,000 + . Turns out he was more enthusiastic about getting a $10,000 car for free than anything else and was just blowing smoke at me about how much he wanted to save that car.
