Re: New vs. building old one
My daily is a Toyota RAV, wife has a Corolla. My plans for my '81 are complete teardown and reassembly as I have to pull the cab anyway, and I'd be halfway there. Planning on a Goodwrench crate, 4bbl intake/carb, new 350 tranny, all soft parts replaced, overhaul HVAC, clean/paint chassis, upholstery, etc. Time and funds are the big things, learning some of this stuff on the fly are the smaller hurdles as I've never done this solo before.
Last project I had help and got burned in the end, making a long story short. The advantage this time is I'm in the driver's seat, I have the documentation that proves it's mine, and in my own garage so no chance of losing the storage space unless personal tragedy forces my hand to unload it.
All you fellow members are a great bunch of guys lending support to those of us who need the guidance and advice. Hats off to you.
