Most painless way?

My last full on resto took me about two years due to serious lack of funds and then sourcing parts so i have said to myself before i start the next i want to have as many of the parts as possible if not all of them ready here and about 4k for the paintwork and any thing i missed out, should be fairly straight forward then? hopefully no more than 3 months from start to finish including waiting arround for paint  :?  i have been gathering parts for over 3 years now and im not far off having everythiong i want, still need a few seals and a fuel tank then thats about it just need that 4k!

What is it that you are restoring or is that a stupid question (storm) or is it possibly a mk1 golf good luck n what  seals are you needing or parts left to get can keep ears n eyes peeled

4k for paintwork !  Who's doing it ? Leonardo di Vinci or wot !!!   

(only joking, good luck with it !)

Nah paint work will be about ?1500 but i want to allow some funds for anything else i come accross
