Restoration of an 1800 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be Earl on  Sun Mar 3 12:41 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'd advise buying one that's in very good condition to start with, needing only minor repairs rather than buying an old "rust bucket" with alot of bondo, bad engine or other undesireable issues.
It'll cost you more initially but you'll be far better off in the end as what it'll cost to properly restore a tired, rusty, old 1800 won't be inexpensive and you won't get your money back if you ever decide to sell it again.
I once had a tired, old P1800 which needed alot of repairs but it wasn't worth all that as its body and interior were in poor condition. If I ever get more space for more toys, I too would consider another 1800 but it'd be a newer FI model and in better condition than my last one.
