Default Daimler V8 Barn Find too much for a beginner!

Afternoon All,

Some of you may have been following my previous post regarding my V8 barn find from earlier this year. Unfortunately, I have found even more corrosion than I can deal with and have had to make the decision to break my V8 rather than restore. Trying to jack up the front left and the jack pushing through the floor was the last straw.

Hopefully by breaking this car, I can put the money towards a road going one that I can work on!

Thank you to all who have helped answer questions along the way!

Sometimes it is best to recognize when a project is not worth continuing, I think you are making the right decision.

Good luck with your search for a replacement, there are plenty of nice examples out there, and while they can often be had for not much money, the best advice is to buy the best you can.
