After about more than a month canvassing for prices of parts of a BMW 2002 tiit (turbo), plus, checking out the cost for a full blown body & chassis resotration from decent body restorers, I reckon that I may as well "rob a bank" to be able to afford this project/endeavor.

Since a bachelor friend who's into car restoration as a hobby offered to just buy from me the 1974 BMW2002 tiit, I am now seriously thinking of relenting and just let go of this project. Part of me would like to hang on, but the family man in me also pushes me to just let go and give up.

What do you think guys?
