LPG? As in Propane? With stombergs? I had a 164 that had been converted to propane, and I put it back to gas, but it didn't work... the compression had been bumped up so high, I basically had to run racing fuel.

Sounds a bit on the pricey side to me... I would think that for that price, you should be able to get a near perfect, unrestored original example. A substandard respray is worse than needing paint in my opinion.

As George said, you would do well to lose the strombergs and get some SU carbs for it.
