this is a hobby, and you must be in it to please yourself, as you can not please everybody.

seems to me, at the core of this hobby, is the utilization of one to fix another, with ones budget being the driving factor.

ive seen guys spend many hours and much effort to repair, restore, replace old steel. Ive seen others spend big bucks to get a pristine car to save the time and effort of replacing the rot.

i see the logic of both positions.
