Thanks Mark. My wife isn't happy I've spent nearly $1000 this month but thankfully most of that is profit from the sale of other parts. I did however manage to get her up to the shop to see the car(first time she's seen it since tear down) and she said it's looking good. SO I got a thumbs up from the wife and after convincing her to stick with the budget and giving her $100 a month funny money (for manicures and what not) she's a bit more understanding that I need to invest in the car at this point to go further.
