If I had the loot I'd bite if he would sell it for less.

I think you are not far off if you would invest 3-5000 thou on this, you would be at the $8-9000 total.

most of us realize going into these projects that we will invest more than they are worth. My original intention was to buy a cheap runner. Once I got into it and realized all that needed to be done, i became concerned about the safety aspect, so embarked on a grounds up. I look at it as saving a car that would be rotting away in someones back 40. maybe i'm just trying to justify spending stupid money on the thing :mrgreen: I did buy the car from my son with the stipulation that it gets willed back to him. This means one of my grandkids will end up with it. having gone thru the car this thoroughly means i will have an eye popper til the day i cant drive anymore and then i get to watch my grandkids learn to appreciate a legacy. I say that means money well spent
