It's great you commissioned such a thorough restoration, your best reward is the enjoyment from driving and owning your Pagoda.

Haha yes and I remember well the days these little Dinos could be bought for no more than $25K.
I am very much enjoying restoring the Alfa Giulietta Sprint; the most serious corrosion has been remediated - although right now I am doing the final touches on the Lancia Fulvia, hope to have that all done in the coming few weeks after which I will be selling it on BAT ...
I am not sure yet if there will be a next project but if there is then it will most likely be something that pops out of the woodwork here in Los Angeles on Craigslist.

Yes but that car is a bit of a mess and should not be used as a data point for the value of restored cars.

That was my point.
