I figure I have another 1-2k in parts plus my labour left to put into it to get everything dialed in to where I'm happy with the mechanical/electrical condition. Then ima gonna drive it and enjoy it.

I know that if I didn't wrench myself then I would def not be impressed with the dollars I'm into the car for.

Hope that provides some perspective.

I purchased my 2001 and, for the most part, it was well cared for and garaged. The PO wasn’t willing to replace all that needs replacing on a 20 year old car. So here I am. It ran and drove great before I started the project. Here’s to hoping it still runs and drives great when I button it all back up.
