When you figure out the labour and material costs, research etc, it is often times better to take advantage of a complete example rather than a parts machine.
Trust me, I owned 6 UCs at one point in time with only one really being a feasible candidate. Maybe prices in Europe dictate otherwise but here in Canada a person would be hard pressed to get more than $20,000 CAN for a restored carrier.
I will keep a look out for you over on this side of the pond.
Thanks Chris
It's not the end value to me. When we restore machines it normally costs more than they are worth. I do it to satisfy myself and preserve a small bit of history. I actually enjoy getting sh#t high in muck, rust and oil, and discovering the history of machines. I love seeing other people's faces when they see what you have achieved. And I enjoy meeting self (mental) minded people who share the same passions as I do.
I have relatives in Toronto and Australia looking out also. They are able to help with shipping if need be!
Many thanks in advance to all who replied and offers of help, but according to my missus, not the kind of help I need.....!! Lol.
