I have been exploring some of the stuff I bought on ebay lately. I 
bought stuff I thought I would need but did not get around to using. The 
  item I got screwed on the most was the headlight surrounds. I needed 
one right side facia/surround to have two good pairs. I bought three 
pairs on ebay and got one good right side piece. The rest were bent, 
cracked or thread stripped. The Spitfire I am building had the right 
side headlight crunched in. I bought a good looking, on ebay, 
hood/bonnet and  got one with no supports and all the nut areas cracked 
out, but no dents.
I had a shop built to finish the Spitfire. I had to vacate the previous 
location. The builder quit when I bitched about his quality of work. The 
raggedy insulation was the last straw.
When I had to finish the shop and move stuff around I got back in gear 
and motivated.
I think I have the most expensive, incomplete Spitfire on record.
