I don't get car poeple at times ?

Some people want to do the car from start to finish themselves.
For example, i sold a very rusty '69 A12 6 pack superbee 8 years back to a friend of mine.
It was stripped, no drivetrain, just a rusty shell. He invested over 60 grand in the resto and is very happy and pleased with the outcome. I don't even want to think of how much time alone he spent on it!
It's feels, looks, and drives like a new car today. Believe me, it's NICE!
His reasoning for doing the resto was that he wanted to do it himself, and he always wanted a 6 pack 4 speed bee with the colors and options that it was born with.
Sometimes it's the challenge that attracts people to these types of restos.
if you aren't doing it for the money, it becomes a labour of love.
