One guy in the UK club spent £13,000 ($20,000 US) on a Fastback rebody and full professional restoration, using a LHD body shell imported from California, which they converted with his RHD dash. He wouldn't get more than half that back if he had to sell, I reckon, but he is enjoying his brand new car for a second time now! Dave.
