lar, you sound like a guy with a lot of enthusiasm. Good for you. Also, it sounds like you're getting a little thin with the issues you keep posting about this car.

I don't know how to say this without it sounding harsh, but that's not my intent. I've been watching your posts for the last few weeks and this car sounds like there's almost NOTHING done right on it. Based on what you've been posting you're going to be spending a ton of money and two tons of time trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

If you haven't gotten too deep into fixing a bunch of this stuff why not sell the thing off to someone else. Chalk it up as a learning experience and go out into the for sale world having given yourself an education. Now that you've learned what some of the pitfalls are, you'll be a better informed and more selective buyer the next time. Trust me, it'll be cheaper, and you should end up with a better car.
