I would like to make this less frivolous. We have a '52 TD that has been
in my wife's family since the late '60's. It is in need of a complete
restoration and I got the car about 4+ years ago with that in mind. We
need to replace all coach work, and a number of other things that,
combined, are really beyond my (limited) abilities and even more limited
time.
I am not looking for pointers to places that can restore a TD to good
running condition. I live near Hartford, CT and would be interested in
knowing of places that could do the job and the approximate cost. (I've
put about $1500 into spares, including most of the oak). We are not
interesetd in a show car, but rather someting to have fun with and to
drive.
Can anyone give me some pointers to places in the Connecticut area that do
good work on TDs and might even understand the balance between purity and
convenience I'm trying to achieve? They would have to be able to come and
get the pieces, since I do have the thing (mostly) torn apart, albeit on
its wheels.
TIA
