Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Even if it was free, and you did everything yourself, I would be surprised if it would be cheaper than just buying a complete, running car.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I reckon you could just drive it as is and clean it up over time...

POST 3Original post

She's been for sale a long time this one. I guess there are too many faint hearted people around as the add suggests.

POST 4Original post

Big undertaking for someone , but do hope the car gets restored by someone , hate to see it like that ..

POST 5Original post

You would have to have deep pockets to get this back on the road!

POST 6Original post

Good gravy that's a lot of rust!

POST 7Original post

I saw that car a while ago and that is too far even for me, even to build as a hot rod. Even doing all the labour yourself, after the price of the parts alone, it would still be much cheaper to buy a half decent runner.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting Jeff. I was thinking that $40K was too much but if it was $4K, then the costs ahead would seem to outweigh the ultimate value.

Even if it was free, and you did everything yourself, I would be surprised if it would be cheaper than just buying a complete, running car. All the little pieces really add up, and if you were going to farm out the work it would cost a stupid amount.

POST 10Original post

If I recall correctly, he started advertising it nearly 2 years ago at $60k Sometimes you just have to ask "why bother". Yes 356s are getting rare and expensive but they are not that rare nor that expensive to justify taking this project on Parts car at best and should be priced around $10k. I just spent $2.5k on a nose panel yesterday for my '58 speedster

These guys must have imported a container load at some stage. I remember them selling two or three 356's that all looked like jigsaw puzzles.
