Svelte,

Depends on your resources.  I'm personally not at the restoration 
stage of life.  Although I love working on cars I would rather do all 
the little detail stuff and maintenance rather than working on a 
restoration for an extended length of time.

I've gotta drive!  Thankfully it's raining/snowing here in northern 
CA or I'd really be upset with the Marcos sitting in the garage 
without 4th gear!  Soon...........
