OK, so Hasselrig is borrowing $400 on March 8th and promising to fix "Al's car" on or prior to March 25th. If that is the case, I would think the "Al's car" that needs to be fixed is unlikely to be his Cobra. Unless someone with restoration or body shop experience might be able to verify that it would be possible to repair the Cobra in that shape in 17 days? Perhap Al's car was a another different car he damaged, maybe his Edsel Stationwagon, which just needed a new fender after the mishap backing out of the family garage.
It would seem that if Hasselrig was intending to repair the Cobra, he would not be borrowing $400 from Ann, but requiring a downpayment of many thousand dollars from the Abidin family to source a new body and many other items from either AC cars and/or SAI. And then waiting many months for delivery of the body to arrive from England.
Could it be that the Abidin family were using the opportunity for Hasselrig to buy the wrecked Cobra from them for $400 as an incentive to get Hasselrig to quickly repair Al's other car?
