Hey!<br><br>
How about 14 years for an engine rebuild !!!!!!!<br>
2 years for a paint job - that's not so bad<br><br>

either. Sounds like $ is the way to increase the speed...<br><br>

<dd>Hi guys,<br><br>
<dd>I keep monitoring the posts and thinking longingly of the time I will
be able to drive our 1960 MGA.<br><br>
<dd>Our car has been undergoing a body off, frame up restoration for
going on 4 years..... <br>
<dd>The restorer, Hoyt's in Sarasota do fantastic work but are sooooo
slow... unless you have lots of bucks or one of their main customers,
like the Sarasota Car Museum. Our small vehicle gets put to one side each
time a more prestigious job comes in...<br><br>
<dd>Each weekly visit reveals more superb specimens in the workshops...
and ours is proceeding - but slowly.<br><br>
<dd>At first, the pace suited us, as funding at a slow pace was easy...
but it has become more and more frustrating. We don't want to upset them
too much because we want a good job.... and we have considered taking the
car to another restorer - but the car is in pieces and who knows what
might get lost.<br><br>
<dd>Engine work was shipped out to a local engine shop and was completed
2 years ago and is sitting on the restored frame.<br><br>
<dd>Bodywork has taken an age and the aluminum doors and hood had to be
welded.<br><br>
