Mother's day - my gift was a heap of rusty metal in a barn and a model car... Bought an old Baur BMW 2002 Cabriolet. Sever rust damage, the canvas rotten, but engine and frame intact. Was in the low 3 digit Euro price. The needed hours to rebuild will be more I guess. As an appetizer what it will look like I bought a model of it. The roof can be dismantled and stored in the rear. Behinf the rear seat is a smaller foldable canvas part. Not a real cabriolet but a robust frame. One of these was the first car of my wife. Couldn't find the original anymore. Not even a running one. Luckily my father in law was running a BMW store so access to parts is still there. Guess 5000 Euro, 1000 hours, and then the market price is around 30000+. Before my wife finished university she was working with her dad on weekends. So we will have some fun rebuilding it.

I went up five levels to 31. I'll be doing some things for a while to give you a chance to catch up. I'll still continue on since the experience gain is VERY good right now.
