Binder/Buy vrs Build/ Nov/Dec Plan

I rearranged my Triumph binder ... While doing so I had an opportunity to view to view the "before" pictures taken when the previous owner rescued the '59 from the farmers field. Looking at the pictures shows me how far I have progressed...encouraging on many fronts..

This week "Bring a Trailer" had a nice TR3 listed for $12,000 and change...really got me thinking about the build vrs buy options that present themselves from time to time...would I have been better off to buy a better car initially... You bet! Had I bought a $12,000 car 5 years ago I would have been driving in the interim instead of building...the estimated $$$ difference by the time I finish the build . About $3000 cheaper to build I figure but the final $$$ are not in yet....my car will be more personalized... Trade offs for sure...

I laid out my Nov/Dec plan on paper...trying to set reasonable goals?

Removed the hinges from the damaged door frame...started to put tools away in garage..ran out of energy....
