welcome to CHR Vince. it sounds like you have done more than your part of the big beach adventures over there. time to come home and start a new life with a new family of gear heads. I would look for something already sweated on and save time and money. you can always drive it and enjoy it then add your own touches to it. I would got to some shows and drool on some cars before I made my final decisions.
set back and enjoy the site
