Trouble is where do you call the line with a restoration like this . Have done a similar thing on one of my other cars, it got very quickly out of hand! Paint, new bushes and cad plating everything

yeah thats the problem. 'with this removed its easier to do that, and with that removed its easier to do this'...

But if your planning to keep the vehicle long term it makes total sense. Dont want to be going back in there after 6 months to replace something. I'd rather do it all once.
