I'd love to add photos and edit the info on the cars I have but I have no idea how to get to that spot :D

Voorheis,

Go to your Owner Registry Entries, scroll to the bottom of the page, click on "Make Changes" then edit any or all of your entry. You can also add a picture by clicking on the Choose File button at the bottom of the opened page. Don't forget to click on the Save Changes button when done!

This FAQ may also help.

I would pay for it depending on condition. Full restoration of a 356 cost about $7000 here in Sweden so everything depends on condition. Where are You? Is there any risk of the engine having been frozen previously? The crankshaft is particularly expensive to restore as there are bolt-on counterweights that must be removed first and the bolts have no heads so they must be drilled off. there are also a lot of bearings to grind, 17 of them.
