It does look to have a lot of potential to become a very nice car. But it's a strange story. Who actually owns it - the "friend", the person who entrusted it to him, or the ebay seller? It's all very well to say "it belongs to me now", but does it? Could a buyer end up completing it, only to have a visit from the plod and the car repossessed and returned to its real owner.
The £32000 storage charge suggests to me that the "friend" isn't a very good person to be doing business with. I doubt that the cost of storage was mentioned up front, or agreed to by the original owner, or actually revealed until it had accrued quite a large sum in return for zero work. £5000 per year for storage sounds a lot. At that rate, completion probably became financially impractical after just a few months, even if the work could be done for free. I also wouldn't underestimate the cost of completing it. He hasn't mentioned whether it would need an IVA test, for example. I think it probably would - so add at least another £500 to the costs. TonyV.
