It is very expensive to buy new parts for old cars if you want to run. I guess it depends on how confident one is on used parts performing satisfactorily whilst running - especially if they involve drivetrains etc..On the other hand if you are a purist and want something almost new then you'll fork out the extra cash or buy a NIB kit for silly money.

I also think for a shelver one could refurb used parts and really limit NIP purchases. I've done it several times already!

I look forward to seeing this one come to fruition.
There is also the fact that maybe, some people, would just like to run the car from a new status?
Its a personal preference, if you want to run a sloppy cut and shut nail, so be it, but i for one am a bit of a perfectionist and purist, who doesnt settle for second best, even, on a runner.
So no, i dont agree at all, as its down to personal preference, not anothers opinion being pushed on you.
