You dont have to watch the whole video, like I did, but never saw a happier man at the end:
Full video 1h37 minutes

Of course I needed to watch him restore the body as well (2h35 minutes video):

 
Going to give it a watch, looks interesting.

Some people must just be addicted to the punishment of doing work like that, that amount of work is only worth it if it's for something that will be worth a huge amount of money at the end of it so at least you will have some kind of consolation prize after ruining your health and wealth. After doing a few lesser restorations myself and having grown wiser I now know that the key is in waiting till you find an example in decent condition rather than trying to resurrect the dead. As much as I enjoy the reward of fixing a vehicle up the real reward is in enjoying using it and the shortest route to that end goal is the key.

Just finished watching both, this guy has more guts than a circus donkey, but I think the end result is going to be amazing.
