Re: it can be a bit overwhelming at times
That's part of the game man!
I thought I just needed my carb rebuilt, then I found the motor was hurt, decided to pull the whole front clip, rebuild the front end, pulled all the interior, pulled the tranny to rebuild it (for the hell of it), carrier bearing, rear end housing seals, all the brake lines and wheel cylinders, weld up the kick panel/holes in the floor corners, just keeps goin on and on! |

Re: it can be a bit overwhelming at times
I can feel your pain. Wait till you get to this point and see how you are feeling.

Re: it can be a bit overwhelming at times

Re: it can be a bit overwhelming at times
Don't get too discouraged though, I'm actually getting pretty close to getting mine on the road again. You will get there!!
